Pure and 10 wt% 80Al2O3-20TiO2 reinforced hydroxyapatite coatings were successfully deposited on Ti6Al4V substrate by plasma spray technique for bio medical applications. Post coating heat treatment was carried out to study the effect of heat treatment on improvement in micro structure and mechanical properties of coatings. Coating was characterized by SEM/EDAX and XRD analysis. Positive impact...

Pure and calcium-doped silica and titanium dioxide thin films were prepared by the sol-gel method. Two different metallic substrates, i.e. stainless steel (316L) and titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V), were used for thin film deposition. Physicochemical properties and roughness of the thin films derived were investigated using the Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microsco...

This paper reports the dynamic elastic constants of laser powder bed fusion additively manufactured Ti6Al4V alloy by recently developed effective bulk modulus elastography technique and compares them with static evaluated using nanoindentation technique. With this technique, two ultrasound frequencies (10 MHz 20 MHz) were employed, which distinctly identified spatially varying density in while ...

Titanium and its alloys, particularly Ti6Al4V, which is widely utilized in the marine aerospace industries, have played a vital role different manufacturing industries. An efficient cost-effective way of joining this metal by laser welding. The effect power welding speed on tensile, microhardness, microstructure Ti6Al4V alloy investigated paper. Results show that microhardness highest at fusion...

Metallic implants with a low effective modulus can provide early load-bearing and reduce stress shielding, which is favorable for increasing in vivo life-span. In this research, porous Ti6Al4V scaffolds with three pore sizes (300~400, 400~500, and 500~700 μm) were manufactured by Electron Beam Melting, with an elastic modulus range of 3.7 to 1.7 GPa. Cytocompatibility in vitro and osseointegrat...

Porous structures are used in many industrial applications such as thermal insulation, packaging and filters, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, but also in biomedical applications such as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering (TE). To understand, simulate and eventually predict the behaviour of porous structures during loading in order to assess their functionality, a thorough knowledge of th...
