Computational Design of Corrosion-resistant and Wear-resistant Titanium Alloys for Orthopedic Implants [PDF]
Materials Today Communications,2022,104465,ISSN 2352-4928, 2022 Titanium alloys are promising candidates for orthopedic implants due to their mechanical resilience and biocompatibility. Current titanium alloys in orthopedic implants still suffer from low wear and corrosion resistance. Here, we present a computational method for optimizing the composition of titanium alloys for enhanced corrosion and wear resistance
