Influence of processing parameters on dehydrogenation of TiH in the preparation of Ti-Nb: A review.

Commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) and Ti-6Al-4V alloy have emerged as excellent candidates for use as biomaterials in medical implants due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and biocompatibility. β-type Ti alloys composed of non-toxic metallic elements such as niobium (Nb) have been extensively studied in order to resolve the issue of a high elastic modulus and toxicity of certain elements, particularly in Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Titanium hydride (TiH) has recently received a lot of attention due to its densification, oxidation levels, and material costs.
