Dental implants have been widely used in clinical practice. The 3D modeling software was used to design threedimensional (3D) models (in the shapes of long strips, discs, and screws), i.e., the Ti2.6Al1.2 V0.42 specimens. Meanwhile, the implant material was electrochemically precipitated, and a layer of chitosan nano-coating was added to the surface. To test the bone-binding ability and planting success rate of the material, the mechanical properties of the specimens with different porosity (0%∼70%) were firstly analyzed by the three-point bending method. Then, the screw-shaped titanium alloy specimens were divided into the solid group, the solid coating group, the solid 30% group, the coating 30% group, the solid 50% group, and the coating 50% group. The MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured, and the in vitro biological properties of the specimens were tested from different angles. The biomechanical properties and flexural strength of screw-shaped titanium alloy specimens in different groups were tested by using a universal testing machine. In the experiment, the prepared dental implants had the complete surface, uniform pore distribution, dense coating distribution, and less overall cracks. The elastic gradient of porous titanium specimens would decrease due to the increase of porosity. The cell activity of the test specimen was higher, and the percentage of viable cells exceeded 80%. The MTT test confirmed that the pores of the test specimen could promote the increase of MTT value (P < 0.05), and the test specimen/composite coating had higher ALP levels compared with the test pieces with no surface treatments (P < 0.05). In biomechanical properties and flexural strength tests, the increase of pores increased the biomechanical properties (P < 0.05) and decreased the flexural resistance (P < 0.05), while the increase of coating decreased the biomechanical properties and increased the flexural resistance (P < 0.05). The porous titanium alloy specimens were successfully prepared, and the chitosan-based composite coating was applied. The material was non-toxic, which was beneficial to cell proliferation and had good mechanical properties, thereby contributing to the growth of new bone.

Abstract The growing need for new materials and material combinations with superior properties for severe service applications has led to the development of near net-shape forming techniques for certain materials, such as superalloys, refractory metals (Ta, W, and Mo) and highly reactive metals (Ti and its alloys). Vacuum plasma spray (VPS) was used to produce dense Ti-6Al-4V deposits for mechanical properties evaluation. Spherical Ti-6Al-4V powder, produced by Plasma Atomization (PA), a novel patented powder fabrication technique, was used as the starting powder. Plasma atomized Ti-6Al-4V powder characteristics include: high purity, tight particle size range, highly spherical with no attached satellites, and excellent flowability. The resulting as-sprayed Ti-6Al-4V deposits were dense and low in oxygen content. Thermal treatment was conducted after spraying in order to improve the structure and the properties of the spray formed material. The mechanical properties of the material, including tensile strength, elongation and hardness, in both the as-sprayed and the heat treated conditions were compared. The mechanical properties of these preliminary VPS Ti-6Al-4V specimens indicate that the combination of high purity starting powder and controlled environment deposition can be used to produce dense spray formed Ti-6Al-4V structures with properties comparable to those of cast or sintered powder metallurgy parts.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of a new type near α high temperature titanium alloy Ti-6.5Al-2.5Sn-9Zr-0.5Mo-0.25Si-1Nb-1W-0.3Re (wt. %) (denoted as TA6.5) were investigated. It was observed that the microstructure of forged TA6.5 mainly consisted of deformed lamellar α phase, small amount of equiaxed α phase, and residual β phase, exhibiting high strength and comparatively low elongation. Three different heat treatments processes were performed on forged TA6.5. The results showed that all heat treated alloys displayed high tensile strengths, and the values of strength parameters were almost unchanged with the increasing solution temperature, ascribing to the combination effects of decreasing primary α phase and increasing contents and widths of secondary α phase and lamellas. The tensile elongations of heat treated alloys tested at 650 °C decreased slightly with the increasing solution temperature, which is due to the increased width of secondary α lamellas and the generation of coarse grain boundary α phase. TA6.5 treated in the process of 990 °C/1 h/AC+700 °C/4 h/AC exhibited excellent comprehensive mechanical properties, i.e. the ultimate tensile strength of 829 MPa, yield strength of 707 MPa and elongation of 18.73% respectively.

Ni-rich alloys based on approximate ternary composition Ni-8Mo-15A1 (at%) are presently under investigation in an attempt to study the contribution, if any, of the profusion of Mo-rich NixMo metastable compounds that these alloys contain to their excellent mechanical properties. One of the alloys containing metastable NixMo precipitates is RSR 197 of composition Ni-8.96Mo-15.06A1-1.98Ta-.015Yt. The alloy was prepared at Pratt and Whitney Government Products Division, West Palm Beach, Florida, from rapidly solidified powder. The powder was canned under inert conditions and extruded as rod at 1315°C. The as-extruded rod, after air cooling, was solution treated at 1315°C for two hours, air cooled, and heat treated for one hour at 815°C, followed again by air cooling.
