The microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion behavior of binary Ti-xPt alloys containing 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt% Pt were investigated in order to develop new Ti-based dental materials possessing superior properties than those of commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti). All of the Ti-xPt (x = 5, 10, 15, 20) alloys showed hexagonal α-Ti structure with cubic Ti₃Pt intermetallic phase. The mech...

in this work, the strength of cold roll bond of the commercially pure titanium (cp ti) sheet and the effect of tio2 nanoparticles on bond strength was investigated. through the accumulative roll bonding process, which is considered among the important severe plastic deformation processes, the creation of suitable bonds plays a significance role in the ultimate strength of the bond. thus, resear...

The fundamental nature of Ti(III) complexes generated in tetrahydrofuran by reduction of Cp(2)TiCl(2) has been clarified by means of cyclic voltammetry and kinetic measurements. While the electrochemical reduction of Cp(2)TiCl(2) leads to the formation of Cp(2)TiCl(2)(-), the use of metals such as Zn, Al, or Mn as reductants affords Cp(2)TiCl and (Cp(2)TiCl)(2) in a mixture having a dimerizatio...

OBJECTIVE This research was designed to investigate the effects of low pressure radio-frequency (RF) oxygen plasma treatment (OPT) on the surface of commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) and Ti6Al4V. Surface topography, elemental composition, water contact angle, cell viability, and cell morphology were surveyed to evaluate the biocompatibility of titanium samples with different lengths of OP trea...

The results of XPS measurements of commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) before and after chemical treatment are presented. We have measured XPS spectra of core levels (Ti 2p, O 1s, C 1s, F 1s) and valence bands of coarse-grained cp-Ti before and after standard acid treatment accepted in dentistry (in 1% HF and 40% HF for 1 min). It is found, that acid treatment of cp-Ti reduces the content of hyd...

The reaction of Cp*TiX3 [X ) Cl (1a), F (1b), Cp* ) η-C5Me5] with an excess of AlMe3 afforded the methylated products Cp*TiCl2Me (2a) and (Cp*TiF2Me)(AlMe2F) (2b), respectively, whereas under thermal conditions the reduced titanium species Cp*2Ti2(μ-Cl)6Al2Me4 (3) and Cp*2Ti2(μ-F)8Al4Me8 (4) were obtained in moderate yields. The reduction of Ti(IV) to Ti(III) is observed when Cp′2TiF2 (Cp′ ) η-...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of thermal oxidation on the corrosion behavior of Ti-5Ag alloy. METHODS The microstructure of Ti-5Ag alloy without and with thermal oxidization treatment were characterized, with commercial pure (CP) Ti as control, by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (...

OBJECTIVE The main aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of Streptococcus mutans on the corrosion of titanium. METHODS S. mutans biofilms were formed on commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) square samples (10mm×10mm×1mm) using a culture medium enriched with sucrose. Open circuit potential (OCP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were used to evaluat...

Microstructure evolutions and mechanical properties of a commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti, grade 2) during multi-pass rotary-die equal-channel angular pressing (RD-ECAP) and cold rolling (CR) were systematically investigated in this work, to achieve comprehensive property for faster industrial applications. The obtained results showed that the grain size of CP-Ti decreased from 80 μm of as-rec...

Experimental cast titanium alloys containing 20 mass% chromium (Ti-20Cr) show preferable mechanical properties and a good corrosion resistance. This study evaluated the fretting corrosion behavior of Ti-20Cr. Ti-20Cr (n = 4) and commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti, n = 6) disk specimens were used. The fretting corrosion test was performed by electrochemical corrosion at 0.3 V in 0.9% saline solut...
