Comparative Study of Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Two TiAl-Based Alloys Reinforced with Carbide Particles.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of two TiAl-based alloys with nominal composition Ti-42.6Al-8.7Nb-0.

Bioactive Ti + Mg composites fabricated by powder metallurgy: The relation between the microstructure and mechanical properties.

Metallic implant materials are biomaterials that have experienced major development over the last fifty years, yet some demands posed to them have not been addressed. For the osseointegration process and the outcome of endosseous implantation, it is crucial to reduce the stress shielding effect and achieve sufficient biocompatibility. Powder metallurgy (PM) was utilized in this study to fabricate a new type of titanium (Ti) + magnesium (Mg) bioactive composite to enable stress-shielding reduction and obtain better biocompatibility compared with that of the traditional Ti and Ti alloys used for dental implants.
