| Abstract Scope |
Metallic biomaterials are required for patients with hard tissue failure , for example, hip prothesis or knee joints. (i) The material has to be biocompatible , i.e., it must not incite any toxic or allergic effects. (ii) The material has to be non-corrosive in the presence of aggressive body fluids [1-2]. Currently, titanium and its alloys are generally considered to be the most suitable biomaterials for implant applications [3-4]. Aiming to develop alloys with good properties for orthopedic applications, the focus of the present research is to evaluate the effect of Nb at.% content on structural of TiNb alloy, and the effect of sintering temperature of (HIPed) Binary, β-titanium alloy (Ti-xNb). The morphological characterization showed that the crystallite size and the particle size decrease with increasing Nb content (%) reaching the lowest values of 32 and 36 nm in the case of Ti-25Nb and Ti-30Nb, respectively. |
