Abstract:The objective of this study is to investigate the boriding behaviour of titanium implant materials on the basis of their crystalline structure and chemical composition. α-type Cp-Ti, α + β type Ti-6Al-4V and β-type Ti-45Nb alloys have been borided by the powder-pack boriding technique at temperatures between 850 and 1200°C. The X-ray diffraction, GDOES and SEM analysis demonstrated that boride layers on Cp-Ti and Ti-6Al-4V alloy mainly composed of TiB 2 and TiB phases, whereas Ti-45Nb alloy consists of the mix… Show more
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.
