Abstract
Compared with traditional Ti-based biomaterials, in recent years Cu-bearing titanium alloys have been considered among the most attractive metallic biomaterials for oral implants, owing to their excellent antibacterial properties. In this paper, the effects of the Cu content, the existing form of Cu element, and the oral environment on the tribocorrosion resistance of Ti-Cu alloys were investigated in comparison with pure titanium (cp-Ti). The results revealed that a low pH and (especially) a high fluoride ion concentration accelerated the tribocorrosion. The Ti-Cu alloys showed a higher tribocorrosion resistance than cp-Ti in all the simulated solutions tested, owing to the precipitation of nano-Ti2Cu during the aging treatment.
期刊介绍:
ASM International''s Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance focuses on solving day-to-day engineering challenges, particularly those involving components for larger systems. The journal presents a clear understanding of relationships between materials selection, processing, applications and performance.
The Journal of Materials Engineering covers all aspects of materials selection, design, processing, characterization and evaluation, including how to improve materials properties through processes and process control of casting, forming, heat treating, surface modification and coating, and fabrication.
Testing and characterization (including mechanical and physical tests, NDE, metallography, failure analysis, corrosion resistance, chemical analysis, surface characterization, and microanalysis of surfaces, features and fractures), and industrial performance measurement are also covered
