In the most recent decades the introduction of unconventional machining processes allowed the development of micromachining techniques. In this work, the influence of material microstructures on the micromilling process was investigated. Ti6Al4V alloy was selected as workpiece material since it is a very common material for micro applications and because its duplex microstructure can be easily ...

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...

The original intent of coating biomedical and surgical devices surface with antibacterial agents is to prevent infections. However, the difference in material properties between materials causes spall from devices. To address situation, current research focused on investigating possibility using laser powder bed fusion process a subset additive manufacturing technology situ alloy 1 at% Cu Ti6Al...

The oxidative burst of human blood cells in the presence of different metal materials was investigated using chemiluminescence assay. Commercial pure titanium (Ti), titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V), and stainless steel 316L (SS) in particulate form with <20 μm in size were used. The effect of particulate materials opsonisation on the upregulation of the respiratory burst production by blood cells was a...

Commercially-pure titanium (cp-Ti) and the titanium-aluminum-vanadium alloy (Ti6Al4V) are widely used as reconstructive implants for skeletal engineering applications, due to their good mechanical properties, biocompatibility and ability to integrate with the surrounding bone. Electron beam melting technology (EBM) allows the fabrication of customized implants with tailored mechanical propertie...

Different methods have been evaluated for manufacturing the porous Ti6Al4V alloys according to decreasing stress shielding phenomenon and increasing mechanical compatibility between the metallic components and the host tissue. For this purpose, in this work Ti6Al4V alloy chips were pressed under 400 MPa pressure and then samples were categorized and heated into two groups at 1000 and 1150℃ unde...

Novel, unitized structures with porous Ti6Al4V alloy on one side and compositionally graded, hard CoCrMo alloy surface on the other side have been fabricated using laser engineered net shaping (LENS™) process. Gradient structures with 50%, 70% and 86% CoCrMo alloy on the top surface showed high hardness in the range of 615 and 957 HV. The gradient structures were evaluated for their in vitro we...

Hydroxyapatite Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 (HAp) and calcium phosphate ceramic materials and coatings are widely used in medicine and dentistry because of their ability to enhance the tissue response to implant surfaces and promote bone ingrowth and osseoconduction processes. The deposition conditions have a great influence on the structure and biofunctionality of calcium phosphate coatings. Corrosion proc...
