Zirconium-based materials, both oxides and metals, have been studied for their important technological applications. Specifically the ZrO2, due to its high stability, biocompatibility and corrosion resistance. The tetragonal ...

The long-life success of dental implants relies on the interaction between the biomaterial and oral environment, always involving electrochemical reactions, mechanical stresses and mechanical wear. In order to improve the ...

The main aim of this work was to assess the electrochemical behavior of new Ti35Nb5Zr and Ti35Nb10Zr alloys in artificial saliva at 37 degrees C to verify if they are indicated to be used as biomaterials in dentistry as ...

In this paper, the effect of substitutional Mo amounts in internal friction and interstitial diffusion mechanisms was analyzed in Ti-15Zr-based alloys. Mechanical spectroscopy was obtained from room temperature up to 730 ...

Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) is a powerful tool to modify the surface of Ti alloys, in order to increase the lifetime of orthopedic implants. It is well established that the resulting oxide films are dependent on the parameters ...

In this study, the effect of temperature on the morphology, crystal structure, chemical composition, roughness, wettability, Vickers microhardness, and corrosion resistance of thermally oxidized Ti-15Zr-xMo (x = 0, 5, 10, ...

Substitutions of Ti and Cu in ZrO2.MgO (Z), cause transformation from monoclinic (m) to cubic (c) and tetragonal (t). According to the vacancy model and solid Solution formation models, neither CuO nor TiO2 cause zirconia ...
