Promising composites for wear resistant load-bearing implant applications: Low elastic moduli of β Ti–Nb alloy reinforced with TiC particles and/or TiB whiskers

Promising composites for wear resistant load-bearing implant applications: Low elastic moduli of β Ti–Nb alloy reinforced with TiC particles and/or TiB whiskers

Despite β-type Ti alloys achieving a low elastic modulus, metallic implants generally exhibit poor wear resistance. To address this issue, in-situ Ti-based matrix composites (TMCs) are considered due to their strong bonding at the matrix/reinforcement interface. While TiC particles and TiB whiskers...
