Properties
Commercially pure Ti and low interstitial Ti-6Al-4V are the two most common
Ti based implants
Biologically inert
No adverse reactions and are tolerated by human tissues
No allergic reactions
Formation of passive oxide layer
Low elastic modulus is achievable to avoid stress shielding
Manufacturing Techniques
Injection Molding
Injection Molding
SEM micrograph showing removal of binder during thermal debinding.
Injection Molding
A TGA test can confirm that debinding was successful:
Weight loss curves for PMMA at a heating rate of 5 C/min for Ti/binder mix
before and after thermal pyrolysis [S5]
Injection Molding
Surface profiles coming from machined samples and sintered samples [S7]
Stress Shielding
Mechanical properties of the untreated cellular Ti6Al4V structures tested in compression with the loading direction parallel and perpendicular to the building
direction of the specimens, where E is elastic modulus, y0.2 is the yield strength, max is the maximum strength [S10]
Biocompatibility - An implanted
materials ability to be accepted
by the surrounding tissue and
broadly, the body as a whole.
Driving Force
in vivo corrosion resistance
poor ability to combat wear
alloyed composition
Corroded titanium implant [4]
Corrosion
Corrosion
Passivation
Formation of a protective oxide layer, the lowest energy state most metals
can attain, that makes them less reactive with both air and water. (eq. 3)
Passivation
Corrosion Resistance
The electric potential at which the metal
can still dissolve to form metallic ions
The electric potential at which the metal
can still form an oxide layer
Regardless of material properties, the morphology and geometry or wear particles have been shown to be toxic.
