    Y-TiAl intermetallic alloy have a good potential for use as biomaterial, due to its good corrosion resistance. In this paper, two fundamental electrochemical techniques namely electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic anodic polarization were used to evaluate the corrosion performance of g-TiAl in Ringer's solution. Surface modification treatments were employed with the pur...

low carbon steel samples were both shot into and inoculated with titanium in order to improve mechanical properties such as strength and toughness. sem observations and x-ray analyses revealed that titanium nitride and titanium carbonitride precipitates being scattered in the ferrite substrate reduce the grain size in all as-cast, heat-treated and as-rolled cases. the growth of the grains at hi...

purpose: to compare the complications of pegging between the polycarbonate peg system and the titanium peg system. method: complications associated with pegging (polycarbonate: bio-eye or titanium: dr-perry new p-k) were reviewed from the hospital records of 153 patients over 5 years. results: out of 153 cases, 96 (62.3%) were male and 57 (37.7%) were female. mean age was 27.7 yr (6-59 yr). in ...

Titanium is an ideal material for use in prosthodontics because of its biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength combined with its lightweight. Recently the use of titanium and titanium alloys for fixed restorations has increased substantially, mainly due to the improvement of techniques for the casting titanium and its alloys. This article reviewed the studies on titanium...

objective(s):anodized treated titanium surfaces, have been proposed as potential surfaces with better cell attachment capacities. we have investigated the adhesion and proliferation properties of h9c2 cardiac myoblasts on anodized treated titanium surface.  materials and methods: surface topography and anodized tubules were examined by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (sem). control...

titanium salts are widely used in pharmacy and industry as intensely white permanent pigment with good covering power in paints , paper , toothpaste , plastics and food dye s. this ion is a redox-active transition metal and may cause oxidative damages to lipids, proteins and dna molecules. in spite of abundant literature, questions about the side effects of titanium ions still remain to be answ...

Although fluoride induces corrosion in titanium in an oral environment, the influence of protein on this corrosion remains to be clarified. The objective of this study was to investigate suppression of fluoride-induced corrosion of titanium where albumin was either present in a solution or where albumin was preadsorbed on titanium. Titanium dissolution in titanium specimens and surface characte...
