Conference Paper Description

Oxygen is considered to be an impurity in titanium and its alloys, and it enhances their brittleness. However, oxygen has also been recognized as a useful ingredient to improve the mechanical performance of titanium alloys for biomedical applications, because oxygen is a lightweight interstitial element that is non-toxic and non-allergenic. Some reports show that adding oxygen improves both the strength and the ductility of titanium alloys for biomedical applications. The effects of oxygen addition on the mechanical performance of titanium alloys for biomedical aplications are described.
