Abstract:Titanium is a complex element and presents more than one crystallographic form, at room temperature it has a hexagonal crystal structure that transforms into a body-centered structure at 800ºC, and a melting point of 1670ºC ± 5ºC. Titanium alloys have superior mechanical properties to Ti c.p. in addition to excellent biocompatibility, a characteristic makes them the material of choice in orthopedic and dental applications. The alloy used in this study was the Ti-6Al-4V ELI alloy, obtained in cylindrical shape,… Show more
