Effect of minor gallium addition on corrosion, passivity, and antibacterial behaviour of novel β-type Ti–Nb alloys

Effect of minor gallium addition on corrosion, passivity, and antibacterial behaviour of novel β-type Ti–Nb alloys

Metastable Ti–Nb alloys are promising bone-implant materials due to improved mechanical biofunctionality and biocompatibility. To overcome increasing bacterial infection risk, alloying with antibacterial elements is a promising strategy. This study investigates the effect of minor gallium (Ga) addit...
