Abstract
The non-equilibrium solidification process in the additive manufacturing of titanium alloy leads to special microstructures, and the resulting changes in corrosion behavior are worthy of attention. In this paper, the microstructure and electrochemical corrosion behavior of Ti6Al4V alloys prepared using laser powder bed melting (LPBF) and casting are systematically compared. The results show that the LPBF-processed Ti6Al4V alloy is composed of dominant acicular α' martensite within columnar prior β phase, and less β disperses have also been discovered, which is significantly different from the α + β dual-phase structure of cast Ti6Al4V alloy. Compared to the as-cast Ti6Al4V alloy, LPBF-processed Ti6Al4V alloy has a thinner and unstable passive film, and exhibits slightly poorer corrosion resistance, which is mainly related to its higher porosity, a large amount of acicular α' martensite and less β phase compared to as-cast Ti6Al4V alloy. This result proves that suitable methods should be taken to control the relative density and phase composition of LPBF-processed Ti6Al4V alloys before application.

Abstract
Catalysis on TiO2 nanomaterials in the presence of H2O and oxygen plays a crucial role in the advancement of many different fields, such as clean energy technologies, catalysis, disinfection, and bioimplants. Photocatalysis on TiO2 nanomaterials is well-established and has advanced in the last decades in terms of the understanding of its underlying principles and improvement of its efficiency. Meanwhile, the increasing complexity of modern scientific challenges in disinfection and bioimplants requires a profound mechanistic understanding of both residual and dark catalysis. Here, an overview of the progress made in TiO2 catalysis is given both in the presence and absence of light. It begins with the mechanisms involving reactive oxygen species (ROS) in TiO2 photocatalysis. This is followed by improvements in their photocatalytic efficiency due to their nanomorphology and states by enhancing charge separation and increasing light harvesting. A subsection on black TiO2 nanomaterials and their interesting properties and physics is also included. Progress in residual catalysis and dark catalysis on TiO2 are then presented. Safety, microbicidal effect, and studies on Ti-oxides for bioimplants are also presented. Finally, conclusions and future perspectives in light of disinfection and bioimplant application are given.

Abstract
The metabolization of carbohydrates by Streptococcus mutans leads to the formation of lactic acid in the oral cavity, which can consequently accelerate the degradation of dental implants fabricated from commercially available microcrystalline Ti. Microstructure influences surface topography and hence interaction between bacteria cells and Ti surfaces. This work offers the first description of the effect of S. mutans on the surface topography and properties of nanostructured bulk Ti, which is a promising candidate for modern narrow dental implants owing to its superior mechanical strength. It was found that S. mutans incubation resulted in the slight, unexpected decrease of surface nanoroughness, which was previously developed owing to privileged oxidation in areas of closely spaced boundaries. However, despite the changes in nanoscale surface topography, bacteria incubation did not reduce the high level of protection afforded by the oxide layer formed on the nanostructured Ti surface. The results highlight the need–hitherto ignored–to consider Ti microstructure when analyzing its behavior in the presence of carbohydrate-metabolizing bacteria.

Abstract
For proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) to become competitive, the cost of stack components, such as bipolar plates (BPP), needs to be reduced. This can be achieved by using coated low-cost materials, such as copper as alternative to titanium. Herein we report on highly corrosion-resistant copper BPP coated with niobium. All investigated samples showed excellent corrosion resistance properties, with corrosion currents lower than 0.1 µA cm−2 in a simulated PEM electrolyzer environment at two different pH values. The physico-chemical properties of the Nb coatings are thoroughly characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). A 30 µm thick Nb coating fully protects the Cu against corrosion due to the formation of a passive oxide layer on its surface, predominantly composed of Nb2O5. The thickness of the passive oxide layer determined by both EIS and XPS is in the range of 10 nm. The results reported here demonstrate the effectiveness of Nb for protecting Cu against corrosion, opening the possibility to use it for the manufacturing of BPP for PEMWE. The latter was confirmed by its successful implementation in a single cell PEMWE based on hydraulic compression technology.

Abstract
Orthopedic and dental implants made of β-type Ti alloys have low elastic modulus which can better relieve the stress shielding effects after surgical implantation. Nevertheless, clinical application of β-type Ti alloys is hampered by the insufficient mechanical strength and gradual release of pro-inflammatory metallic ions under physiological conditions. In this study, the β-type Ti-45Nb alloy is subjected to high-pressure torsion (HPT) processing to refine the grain size. After HPT processing, the tensile strength increases from 370 MPa to 658 MPa due to grain boundary strengthening and at the same time, the favorable elastic modulus is maintained at a low level of 61-72 GPa because the single β-phase is preserved during grain refinement. More grain boundaries decrease the work function and facilitate the formation of thicker and less defective passive films leading to better corrosion resistance. In addition, more rapid repair of the passive layer mitigates release of metallic ions from the alloy and consequently, the inflammatory response is suppressed. The results reveal a strategy to simultaneously improve the mechanical and biological properties of metallic implant materials for orthopedics and dentistry. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The low modulus Ti-45Nb alloy is promising in addressing the complication of stress shielding induced by biomedical Ti-based materials with too-high elastic modulus. However, its insufficient strength hampers its clinical application, and traditional strengthening via heat treatments will compromise the low elastic modulus. In the current study, we enhanced the ultimate tensile strength of Ti-45Nb from 370 MPa to 658 MPa through grain-refinement strengthening, while the elastic modulus was maintained at a low value (61-72 GPa). Moreover, substrate grain-refinement has been proved to improve the corrosion resistance of Ti-45Nb with reduced inflammatory response both in vitro and in vivo. A relationship between the substrate microstructure and the surface passive layer has been established to explain the beneficial effects of substrate grain-refinement.

Abstract
Two kinds of Ti-alloys, i.e., TiMo and TiNb alloys are manufactured in this paper, and their ultrasonic cavitation erosion behaviors in 0.1 M H2SO4 solution are evaluated by the mean depth erosion (MDE), SEM and white light photograph. The results show that MDE of TiMo and TiNb alloys obviously increase with increasing the cavitation erosion time, however, they evidently decrease with the increment of Mo or Nb content at each fixed cavitation erosion time, and even some large blank areas (uneroded areas) still exist on the sample surface after ultrasonic cavitation erosion for 2 h in the case of Ti10Mo and Ti20Nb samples, implying the enhanced anti-cavitation erosion property of Ti-alloy by adding Mo or Nb element. The MDE of Ti10Mo or Ti20Nb sample is lower than that of TC4 sample in the case of each cavitation erosion time, indicating the better cavitation erosion resistance of of Ti10Mo or Ti20Nb sample. The influences of Mo and Nb on the passivity of TiMo and TiNb alloys during the ultrasonic cavitation erosion are detected by potentiodynamic curves. The results display that Ti, TC4, TixMo (x = 1, 5, 10) and TixNb (x = 5, 10, 20) samples are all almost in the passive state within the potential region from 0VSCE to 1.5VSCE during ultrasonic cavitation erosion, and the passive current density evidently decreases with increasing Mo or Nb content, indicating the enhanced passive characteristic by adding Mo or Nb alloys during the ultrasonic cavitation erosion.

Abstract
Binary titanium–niobium (Ti–Nb) alloys have recently been attracted due to low Young’s moduli and non-toxic properties. This study explores the influence of low Nb content (0–25 wt%) on the comprehensive parameters of tensile stress–strain relationships (ultimate strength (σUTS), yield strength (σ0.2) and elastic modulus (E)), surfaces properties (Vickers microhardness, surface roughness (Ra), water contact angle (WCA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)), corrosion resistance (in artificial saliva and lactic acid) and biological properties (cytotoxicity and alkaline phosphatase activity of MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts) of Ti–xNb alloys (x = 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 wt%), with using commercially pure grade 2 titanium (cp-Ti) as control. XRD results shown that all the Ti–xNb alloys comprised α + β Ti alloy phases, such that the β phase increased correspondingly with the increased amount of Nb in the alloy, as well as the reduction of E (69–87 GPa). Except Ti–5Nb, all other Ti–xNb alloys showed a significantly higher hardness, increased σUTS and σ0.2, and decreased WCA compared with cp-Ti. No corrosion was detected on Ti–xNb alloys and cp-Ti in artificial saliva and lactic acid solutions. The cytotoxicity of Ti–xNb alloys was comparable to that of cp-Ti in MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts without interference from differentiation behaviour, but the proliferation rate of the Ti–5Nb alloy was lower than other groups. In overall, binary Ti–(10–25 wt%)Nb alloys are promising candidate for orthopaedic and dental implants due to their improved mechanical properties and comparable biological performance, while Ti–5Nb should be used with caution.

Abstract
In order to develop a novel kind of antibacterial Cu-containing TiN film with good corrosion resistance, impressive mechanical properties, and low cytotoxicity, three differently designed multilayer films of TiCu/TiCuN multilayer (M1, M2, M3) were deposited on the surface of 316L stainless steel surface using the axial magnetic field-enhanced arc ion plating (AMFE-ARP) method, in which the interlayer of TiCu was first introduced for Cu-containing TiN film in order to improve comprehensive properties, especially the corrosion resistance of the film. The performance of the TiCu/TiCuN multilayer films was compared with that of the two single layers, TiN and TiCuN, which were deposited by the same method and the same total deposition time. The results indicated that the TiCu/TiCuN multilayer film of M2 revealed the best comprehensive corrosion resistance with low electric current values, high pitting potential, and high polarization resistance due to the proper thickness of TiCu interlayers and larger number of TiCu/TiCuN bilayers. In addition, the TiCu/TiCuN multilayer film of M2 also possesses comparable mechanical properties, excellent antibacterial and antibiofilm abilities, as well as good biocompatibility. Consequently, the antibacterial TiCu/TiCuN multilayer films with good corrosion resistance deposited by using the axial magnetic field-enhanced arc ion plating (AMFE-ARP) method are promising for application in biomedical antibacterial film for implants.
