Author:Moshokoa, Nthabiseng; Raganya, Mampai L; Obadele, BA; Olubambi, PA; Machaka, RonaldDate:2020The present study investigates the effect of solution treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast Ti-Mo alloys. The two alloys (Ti-8Mo and Ti-9Mo) were fabricated using a commercially available Arc re-melting furnace. ...Read more
Author:Mnisi, VC; Sithole, ME; Modiba, RosinahDate:2021Elastic modulus is a very important physical aspect for biomaterials which is impartial to various replacements as artificially hip joints, bone plate, and gum implants since it measures the material’s resistance to be deformed elastically. ...Read more
Author:Moshokoa, Nthabiseng; Raganya, Mampai L; Obadele, BA; Machaka, Ronald; Makhatha, MEDate:Oct 2020β-type titanium alloys are acquiring research interest in orthopaedic applications because of their exceptional properties such as moderate strength, good biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, high ductility and low elastic modulus. The ...Read more
Author:Raganya, Mampai L; Moshokoa, Nthabiseng A; Obadele, B; Makhatha, E; Machaka, RonaldDate:Jun 2021The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of niobium on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-Mo-Nb alloys, which include Ti-11.1Mo-10.8Nb (TMN1), Ti-10.2Mo-19.5Nb (TMN2), and Ti-9.2Mo-26.7Nb (TMN3) alloys designed using ...Read more
Author:Madigoe, Mandy N; Modiba, Rosinah; Cornish, LADate:Dec 2021High alloyed ß-phase stabilised titanium alloys are known to have low elastic moduli comparable to that of the human bone (˜30 GPa). The ß-phase in titanium alloys exhibits an elastic modulus of about 60-80 GPa, which is nearly half that of ...Read more
