Commercially pure titanium and its alloys have been widely applied as implant materials with excellent long-term results and present benefits compared to other metal biomaterials because of the good mechanical strength and modulus of elasticity with values close to those of the bone.
Among the metal materials, titanium and its alloys have great features, as they have good resistance to corrosion in body fluids and good mechanical properties, such as flexibility and tensile strength.

This leads to alloy electrical properties, such as conductivity, which are comparable to those of the end compounds.
In contrast, the very different atomic masses of Si and Ge represent a very large perturbation to the vibrational structure, and the thermal conductivity of the alloy is substantially lower than that of the end compounds.
These compounds enable the fabrication of materials with specifically engineered properties-including strain state, morphology, defect microstructure, selectivity of growth-as well synthesis of new and metastable systems that cannot be achieved by conventional Fig. 1 (left panel) Band gaps of group-IV alloys and III-V alloys relevant for IV/IV / III-V triplejunction solar cells.
Future research in this area will aim to establish the thermoelectricity credentials of SiGeSn alloys by systematically studying their thermal conductivity and Seebeck coefficients as a function of their composition and by carrying out ab-initio simulations of these quantities in alloys as well as in superlattices.

The alloying of such alloys with small additions of scandium provides an increase in the strength of these alloys as a result of dispersion hardening and structural hardening.
The aim of the work was to obtain samples of sheet metal and welding wire from experimental alloys of the Al-Mg system doped with scandium, as well as to study their mechanical and operational properties.
Microstructure of deformed samples from the experimental alloy (Fig. 3) consists of elongated grains of α- solid solution and inclusions of intermetallic compounds arranged in the form of lines along the grain boundaries.

Introduction Magnesium alloys find great potential applications in structural materials due to their high specific strength and excellent damping properties [1-3].
The previous studies demonstrated that magnesium alloys might undergo dynamic recrystallization (DRX) during hot working process, which significantly affected the grain refinement and improvement of ductility [5-9].
The present work aimed to investigate the co-effect of deformation temperature and strain rate on mechanical behavior and dynamic recrystallization of rolled AZ31B magnesium alloy thin sheet.

It was pointed that the filler content can be increased significantly without decreasing the processability by using low melting point metal alloys because these alloys are in liquid phase under processing conditions.
In our work the aim was to prepare an injection moldable composite material with thermoplastic polymer matrix and low melting point alloy filler.
Thermal conductivity of the PP/Sn-Pb compound as a function of the alloy content According to the standard, the melt flow rate of the composite material was determined at 0, 30 and 48 wt% Sn-Pb content.
Melt flow rate of the PP/Sn-Pb compound as a function of the alloy content Summary In this experiment the thermal conductivity of polypropylene was increased using Sn60Pb40 low-melting point solder.

Among the known shape memory alloys, NiTi is the most commonly used because of its excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility.
Introduction In recent years shape memory alloys (SMAs) have been recognized as effective and promising means for application in various branches of engineering, e.g. space technology, medicine, robotics and actuator technology.
According with the binary phase diagram equilibrium [4] and the experimental results [4, 7], the heat treatments have a significant influence over the physical and mechanical characteristics of TiNi shape memory alloys with more than 50.5 wt. % Ni.

The main metallic biomaterials are stainless steels, Co-based alloys and Ti-based alloys.
The aim of this review is to highlight the mechanical properties for several types of biomaterials, their application in medical field, especially the Ti-Mo group.
Metallic biomaterials like Ti based alloys, Co based alloys and stainless steel alloys must have a low value density like as the bone, high mechanical strength, very good fatigue properties an low elastic modulus.
Compared with stainless steel and cobalt alloys, titanium alloys have proven a superior biocompatibility.
