Tribological Behavior of New Titanium Alloys – A Comparative Study

Article Preview

Abstract:

Engineers, biologists and surgeons face a special task when they design procedures, components and systems to replace damaged tissues beyond any limits, caused by disease or trauma. It has been proven that titanium and its alloys have an excellent biocompatibility, that’s why many studies have been made on them, in order to enhance their biomedical applicability. In this paper, the wear behavior of two new titanium alloys, Ti12Mo and Ti25Nb25Ta , have been tested in biological conditions
