High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) thermal spray coating is a deposition process that is widely employed at present to improve surfaces and the remanufacturing of components subject to severe wear, offering an alternative to reduce the cost of spare parts and used as a substitute for electro-chromium, also generating greater thickness than...

Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are used for biomedical applications because of their high resistance to corrosion, good strength-to-weight ratio, and high fatigue resistance. However, a problem that compromises the performance of the material is the mismatch between Young's modulus of Ti and the bone, which brings about stress shielding. One...

The utilization of porous biomedical implants featuring a bimodal microstructure has garnered substantial interest within the scientific community. This study delves into the intricate interplay between processing parameters, microstructural attributes, and the tribo-mechanical performance of titanium grade 4, showcasing its potential to serve...

Commercially pure (c.p.) titanium grade IV with a bimodal microstructure is a promising material for biomedical implants. The influence of the processing parameters on the physical, microstructural, and mechanical properties was investigated. The bimodal microstructure was achieved from the blends of powder particles with different sizes, while...
