Fatigue behaviour of a glass coating on Ti6AL4V for biomedical applications

The fixation of bone replacement implants to the hosting tissue can be improved if the implants have a bioactive surface that can precipitate hydroxyapatite in vivo. Titanium alloys, despite their desirable mechanical and nontoxic properties, are not bioactive and, therefore, do not bond directly t...
