Biological fixation of uncemented endosseous implants requires the apposition of bone onto implant’s surface in a process named osseointegration [1]. The present study examined bone tissue response to Ti-6Al-4V alloy implanted into the rat femurs over a long time range (3 days to 6 months). The progression of implants fixation in the cancellous bone of distal epiphysis and within the medullary ...

A recently developed ultra-hard boride-based material, AlMgB14, has been fabricated into a standard cutting tool geometry (TPG-222) and tested using single-point turning of Ti-6Al-4V. The initial testing was conducted to compare this new cutting tool’s performance relative to a WC-Co cutting tool. During the tests the boride-based inserts suffered catastrophic failure for a wide range of cuttin...

The production of customized Ti-6Al-4V ELI dental implants by electron beam melting technology makes it possible to mass produce customized dental implants which introduce a porous surface to promote better osseointegration. By fabricating the root-form implant and the abutment as one piece, the authors expect to eliminate fracturing at the abutment screw and prosthetic screw. This paper descri...

Fiber reinforced metal composites were fabricated by diffusion welding. The matrices used were commercially pure titanium (CPTi) and two kinds of titanium alloys (Ti-6A1-4V and Ti-21V-4A1), and the filaments were two kinds of SiC-CVD fiber. The structure and the distribution of elements in reaction zone between matrix and filament both in as-fabricated state and in heat-treated state were inves...

Microstructure, chemical and phase composition of the hard layer formed on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy after duplex surface treatment were investigated by light microscopy (LM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and analytical scanning, transmission and scanning transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM, STEM), electron diffraction and focused ion beam (FIB). Advanced electron microscopy techniques used for una...
