Mechanical Strength and Biocompatibility of Ultrafine-Grained Commercial Purity Titanium

Mechanical Strength and Biocompatibility of Ultrafine-Grained Commercial Purity Titanium

The effect of grain refinement of commercial purity titanium by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) on its mechanical performance and bone tissue regeneration is reported. In vivo studies conducted on New Zealand white rabbits did not show an enhancement of biocompatibility of ECAP-modified titani...
