The objective of this study was to compare corrosion behavior in several titanium alloys with immersion in acidulated saline solutions containing hydrogen peroxide. Seven types of titanium alloy were immersed in saline solutions with varying levels of pH and hydrogen peroxide content, and resulting differences in color and release of metallic elements determined in each alloy. Some alloys were ...

In this paper, the accurate description of the relationship between flow stress and strain of porous titanium alloys at various strain rates and temperatures were investigated with dynamic and quasistatic uniaxial compression tests for a further study on the processing mechanism of porous titanium material. Changes in their plastic flows were described through the one-dimensional Drucker-Prager...

In this review the decomposition of supersaturated Cu–Ti solid solutions and subsequent microstructural evolution are discussed in terms of modern views of precipitation from solid solution. This update is motivated by an anticipated emergence of these alloys as technologically significant high-strength, high-conductivity, precipitation hardened alloys over the next decade replacing conventiona...

Original scientific paper In the paper, the SEM and EDS study results of the surface coatings formed on the niobium and titanium alloys (TNZ, NiTi, Ti6Al4V) after the Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO), also known as Micro Arc Oxidation (MAO), are described. For the experiment of the PEO treatment, a non-conventional electrolyte, based on the concentrated orthophosphoric acid, was used. Copper...

1. Preparation and assessment of Dimensionally Stable Anodes (DSAs) Summary: Dimensionally Stable Anodes are used in non-ferrous extractive electrometallurgy (copper, zinc...) and in water electrolysis for the oxygen evolution. They substitute in electrometallurgy lead alloys electrodes subject in normal industrial operating conditions to creep. The objective of this work is to continue what wa...

Neutron scattering experiments have been performed on amorphous CuxTi-|_x alloys with various amounts of hydrogen and deuterium. The combination of i) negative and positive scattering lengths of titanium and copper and ii) negative and positive scattering lengths of hydrogen and deuterium has been used to identify unambiguously the supplementary peaks which appear in the pair correlation curves...

The various mechanisms that have been put forward to explain stress-corrosion cracking are briefly summarized. The experimental observations of stress-corrosion cracking in titanium alloys in widely different environmer a are discussed. Evidence from the literature for and against the possibility that hydrogen plays a role in the stress-corrosion cracking of titanium alloys is documented. An ex...

Recently, titanium-tantalum alloys have been studied as implant materials for dental and orthopedic surgery. However, titanium and tantalum are difficult to mix by common arc melting and induction melting, because of their high melting point and the marked difference between their densities (Ti: 1,680 degrees C, 4.5 g/cm3, Ta: 2,990 degrees C, 16.6 g/cm3). Thus, the Cold Crucible Levitation Mel...

Titanium alloys have found numerous applications in space research, and nuclear industry and research. Since X-rays constitute an important part of the space radiation environment, numerical simulations of radiation absorption characteristics of titanium alloys were studied in this paper. The photon transport Monte Carlo software was used for determining the energy deposited in titanium samples...

AIM The aim of the study is to investigate the galvanic corrosion potential of metal injection molding (MIM) brackets to that of conventional brackets under similar in vitro conditions with nickel-titanium and copper nickel-titanium archwires. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-five maxillary premolar MIM stainless steel brackets and 25 conventional stainless steel brackets and archwires, 0.16 inch...
