We found that specific biomedical Ti and its alloys, such as CP Ti, Ti–29Nb–13Ta–4.6Zr, and Ti–36Nb–2Ta–3Zr–0.3O, form a bright white oxide layer after a particular oxidation heat treatment. In this paper, the interfacial microstructure of the oxi...

One of the applications of titanium in the dental field is a porcelain-fired-metal crown. It is made by firing porcelain multiple times with different composition of ceramics on a metallic abutment tooth. Regarding firing process to metallic abutm...
The training treatments in the shape memory alloy are known as useful method to improve the shape memory effect. In our previous study, it was shown that the training treatments can also improve both the damping capacity and the hardness of the Fe...
Titanium and its alloys are used as a biomaterial because they have excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance and mechanical properties such as ductibility and yield strength. However, they are inferior to ceramics and plastics in point of ...
