Isochronal sintering of the blended elemental Ti–35Nb alloy

Titanium–35niobium alloy as a potential material for biomedical implants: In vitro study

“…Titanium-Niobium (TiNb) alloys can be used as an alternative to other Ti alloys in several biomedical applications [7,8], because they have no cytotoxicity [9], exhibits corrosion resistance similar or superior to Ti [6,10], and elastic modulus significantly lower than other titanium alloys for implants [8,11]. Our group previously showed the development of a new binary alloy, Ti-35Nb, which exhibits an elastic modulus significantly lower (80.7GPa) than Ti and Ti-6Al-4V (above 120GPa) [11].…”

Despite the benefits of the TiNb binary alloy, few studies have explored their potential in biomedical applications [8,31,35,37].…”

“…They also play a significant role on the long-term success of implants and their interaction with the surrounding tissue [29], as modifications on chemical and physical properties of implants can influence cell behavior [8,11,12,15,16,22,27,[30][31][32][33]. Materials for biomedical implants should present excellent biological properties and suitable mechanical properties [33].…”

Effect of Nb addition on microstructural and mechanical properties of Ti-Nb based alloys produced by powder metallurgy

“…Santos ve arkadaşlarının TM ile ürettikleri Ti-Nb esaslı alaşımlar üzerine yapmış oldukları çalışmada sinterleme sıcaklığına bağlı olarak 200-400 HV arası sertlikler elde etmişlerdir, 1500 °C'de sinterlenen numunelerinde yaklaşık 350-400 HV sertlik ölçmüşlerdir [18], bu değerler çalışmamızla uyumludur. Ayrıca, çalışmamızda elde edilen eğme mukavemeti değerleri de, saf Ti ve alaşımlarının mekanik özelliklerinin çalışıldığı araştırmalar ile uyumludur (100-1800 MPa eğme mukavemeti) [19].…”

Porous Titanium by Powder Metallurgy for Biomedical Application: Characterization, Cell Citotoxity and in vivo Tests of Osseointegration

“…Currently, implant dentistry focuses on studies that address and enable more rapid osseointegration of implants for orthopedic and dental use, in an attempt to reduce or even eliminate the period of bone healing free from functional load [2]. Among the various lines of research oriented toward this purpose, the topographical characteristics of the implant surface at the bone-implant interface are considered relevant due to the strong influence on the quality of osseointegration achieved [3][4][5][6][7][8], together with the characteristics of the biomaterial from which the implant is produced [3,[9][10][11].…”
