“…It avoids the remelting of the material and subsequent heat treatments performed in the fusion process [8]. Nowadays porous titanium has become a popular surgical implant material since it increases the roughness and the porosity of the material, thus increasing the integration of the material device to the bone [9][10][11].…”

ElsevierGuiñon Pina, V.; Dalmau, A.; Amigó Borrás, V. (2015). AbstractThe tribo-electrochemical behavior of different  titanium alloys for biomedical applications sintered by powder metallurgy has been investigated. Different mechanical, electrochemical and optical techniques were used to study the influence of the chemical composition, Sn content, and the electrochemical conditions on the tribocorrosion behavior of those alloys Ti30NbxSn alloys (where "x" is the weight percentage of Sn content, 2% and 4%).Sn content increases the active and passive dissolution rate of the titanium alloys, thus increasing the mechanically activated corrosion under tribocorrosion conditions. It also increases the mechanical wear of the alloy. Prevailing electrochemical conditions between -1 and 2 V influences the wear accelerated corrosion by increasing it with the applied potential and slightly increases the mechanical wear of Ti30Nb4Sn.Wear accelerated corrosion can be predicted by existing models as a function of electrochemical and mechanical parameters of the titanium alloys.

“…It avoids the remelting of the material and subsequent heat treatments performed in the fusion process [19]. Nowadays porous titanium has become a popular surgical implant material since it increases the roughness and the porosity of the material, thus increasing the integration of the material device to the bone [18][19][20]. As the roughness increases the osseointegration is greater, but the active surface is also higher promoting the corrosion and the formation of oxides on the titanium surface [16,21,22].…”

The electrochemical behaviour of three different near-β titanium alloys (composed by Ti, Nb and Sn) obtained by powder metallurgy for biomedical applications has been investigated. Different electrochemical and microscopy techniques were used to study the influence of the chemical composition (Sn content) and the applied potential on the microstructure and the corrosion mechanisms of those titanium alloys. Addition of Sn below 4% wt. to the titanium powder improves the microstructural homogeneity and generates an alloy with high corrosion resistance with low elastic modulus, being more suitable as a biomaterial. When the Sn content is above 4%, the corrosion resistance considerably decreases by increasing the passive dissolution rate; this effect is enhanced with the applied potential.

“…Pure Ti and Ti alloys are two of the most popular biomaterials in use today due to their favorable properties, such as biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance [1][2][3]. These alloys have a considerably wide range of biomedical applications, such as dental implants, crowns, and bridges; orthodontic wires; bone plates; hip joints; and spinal fixation devices [4,5].…”

“…Therefore, in the current study, we selected Ti-Nb alloys as our research focus. In previous studies on Ti-Nb alloys, the proportion of Nb ranged from 10-40% [1][2][3]12,18,27]. Therefore, for our research, we chose an alloy composition of 12%, which is referred to as Ti-(12%)Nb.…”

Currently, the development of biomaterials has focused on having a low Young's modulus, biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and antibacterial properties. Ti-Nb alloys have higher research value due to their excellent corrosion resistance and low Young's modulus. In recent years, the antibacterial properties of materials have been enhanced by the addition of Ag and Cu. Therefore, the corrosion resistance and antibacterial properties of the Ti-12Nb-1Ag alloy formulated in the current study were investigated and compared to those of commonly used Ti alloys, G2 pure Ti (ASTM B348 CP Grade 2), and Ti-6Al-4V, via electrochemical and E. coli antibacterial tests. Meanwhile, we also carried out a microstructural analysis to investigate the composition of the alloy. The results were as follows: (1) The electrochemical test demonstrated that Ti-12Nb-1Ag had a higher corrosion resistance than Ti-6Al-4V, which is similar to the properties of pure Ti. (2) The E. coli antibacterial test demonstrated that the sterilization rate of Ti-12Nb-1Ag was higher than that of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy and pure Ti. (3) The microstructural analysis revealed that Ti-12Nb-1Ag had an acicular martensite structure, with nano-Ag precipitates observed. Based on the results of the E. coli antibacterial test and the principles of sterilization of nano-precipitates and Ag, we inferred that the nano-Ag precipitates of Ti-12Nb-1Ag enhanced the antibacterial properties of the newly developed biomaterial, which is, namely, the Ti-12Nb-1Ag alloy.
