Microstructure, corrosion behavior and cytotoxicity of Zr–Nb alloys for biomedical application

Effect of Indium Content on the Microstructure, Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Behavior of Titanium Alloys

“…Several Ti-X binary alloys have been developed, such as Ti-Nb [5][6][7], Ti-Ag [8,9], Ti-Au [10], Ti-Hf [11], Ti-Mn [12], Ti-Cr [13,14], Ti-Mo [15], Ti-Sn [16], Ti-Zr [17][18][19], Ti-Ta [20,21], Ti-Co [22], Ti-Pd [23], Ti-Ge [24] and Ti-Cu [25] alloys. The mechanical properties of Ti alloys are influenced by their microstructure, which, in turn, depends on chemical composition and synthetic processing.…”

Microstructure, mechanical property, corrosion behavior, and in vitro biocompatibility of Zr–Mo alloys

“…13,14 However, the passive film is not very stable and pitting corrosion easily occurs for Zr and Zr alloys in chloride medium. 14,15 It was suggested that their corrosion resistance would be further improved by alloying 16,17 or surface treatment. 18,19 The oxinium (surface oxidized Zr-2.5Nb alloy) has been commercially used as knee and hip femoral heads in total joint arthroplasty owing to its superior wear resistance.…”

Porous Metallic Biomaterials Processing (Review) Part 1: Compaction, Sintering Behavior, Properties and Medical Applications

“…Metallic biomaterials such as stainless steel, magnesium, tantalum, titanium etc, have been widely used in many medical applications [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] for their good biocompatibility, good electrical conductivity, high strain energy (toughness), good wear resistance and outstanding combination of strength and ductility, compared with other materials. In terms of corrosion resistance, the most used metallic biomaterials are 316L stainless steel, Co-based alloys, and Ti-based alloy.…”

“…In terms of corrosion resistance, the most used metallic biomaterials are 316L stainless steel, Co-based alloys, and Ti-based alloy. Recent studies have shown that Zr-based alloys could be used as potential material for implants [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. These characteristics along with relatively simple and common fabrication techniques (casting, forging, machining), or alternative conventional/advanced Powder Metallurgy techniques make metallic biomaterials suitable candidates for medical applications.…”

“…), as porous scaffolds or neuro-vascular implants (aneurysm-clips). In the last years, biodegradable materials based on Mg, Fe or Zn for temporary implants such as stents and orthopedic fixation elements were also developed [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. In Figure 1, the most used metallic biomaterials in the medical field are presented.…”
