Biomaterials encompass synthetic alternatives to the native materials found in our body. They have shown rapid growth in the field of elderly population demands with the prolongation of human life. Titanium is one of the biomaterials with excellent properties and biocompatibility. However, its high stiffness may cause weakening in the structures. To sort out this problem, Ti-Cr, Ti-Mo, and Ti-Cu alloys were produced by powder metallurgy. Metal powders were mixed by mechanical alloying. After pressing and sintering, characterizations were carried out by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, electron backscattering diffraction, and three points bending test.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
