Review: titanium and titanium alloy applications in medicine
TLDR
The use of titanium and titanium alloys for use in biomedical applications is reviewed, finding titanium exhibits superior corrosion resistance and tissue acceptance when compared with stainless steels and Cr-Co-based alloys.Abstract:
Titanium may be considered a relatively new engineering material. It was discovered much later than the other commonly used metals, its commercial application starting in the late 1940s. Its usage as an implant material began in the 1960s, despite the fact that titanium exhibits superior corrosion resistance and tissue acceptance when compared with stainless steels and Cr-Co-based alloys. This paper reviews the use of titanium and titanium alloys for use in biomedical applications.read more

Process parameter selection for selective laser melting of Ti6Al4V based on temperature distribution simulation and experimental sintering
TL;DR: In this article, the processing parameters of selective laser melting were investigated in order to fabricate denser Ti6Al4V parts without post-processes, and it was found that there exists a great temperature gradient from the surface of powder bed to the experimental platform, and the maximum depth of molten powder layer is about 45 μm, very close to the total thickness of powder body (50 μm) under the condition of laser power of 110 W and scan rate of 0.2 m/s.
