Abstract
Developing new materials with high strength and ductility, low modulus and high biocompatibility is a continuing demand in the field of surgical implants. Inspired by the high-entropy design philosophy, two medium entropy alloys (MEAs), i.e. equiatomic TiZrHf and equi-weight Ti40Zr20Hf10Nb20Ta10 were designed and their mechanical properties and biocompatibility were assessed. Both the single-phase hexagonal close-packed (HCP) structured TiZrHf alloy and the single-phase body-centered cubic (BCC) structured Ti40Zr20Hf10Nb20Ta10 alloy show high strength-ductility combinations close to commercial Ti-6Al-4V wrought alloy and remarkably lower young's modulus than commercial pure titanium (CP-Ti) and Ti-6Al-4V. From the aspects of adhesion, proliferation, toxicity and related gene expression of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs), the Ti40Zr20Hf10Nb20Ta10 alloy exhibits distinctively better biocompatibility than that of CP-Ti while the TiZrHf shows only slightly better biocompatibility as compared with CP-Ti. These results indicate that these two ductile MEAs are potential candidates for dental application.

Abstract
Entropy generation and dual solutions are rarely studied in the literature. An analysis is attempted here. More exactly, the present paper looks at the impact of radiation of a micropolar fluid on mixed convective flow containing the titanium alloy Ti6Al4V nanoparticle along with a Riga plate. The study of dual-nature solution for the entropy generation along a Riga surface was not being explored in the literature; therefore, the current model focuses on the dual solutions of this complex nature model. Riga surface is identified as an actuator of electromagnetic in which electrodes are accumulated alternatively. This array produces the behavior of electromagnetic hydrodynamic in the flow field. The transmuted leading equations were worked out through the formula of 3-stage Lobatto IIIA. Influences of exercising enormous parameters on temperature distribution, velocity, and micro rotation fields are portrayed and argued. More than one solution is achieved in opposing flow, while in the phenomenon of assisting flow result is unique. Moreover, due to the micropolar parameter, the separation of the boundary layer is decelerating. It is determined that the entire structure produces the dual-nature solution of the phenomenon of stagnation point flow, and the temperature profile behavior shows the significant enhancement in the thermal conductivity due to the addition of the nanoparticle. The results exposed that liquid velocity is enhanced, and micro rotation is decelerated, by improving the values of Hartmann numbers in both solutions, whereas the temperature field is decelerated in the first solution and accelerated in the second solution.

Twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) and work hardening in Ti-based metallic glass matrix composites. Sci Rep 2017; 7:1877.

Abstract
The present study demonstrates that Ti-based metallic glass matrix composites (MGMCs) with a normal composition of Ti43Zr32Ni6Ta5Be14 containing ductile dendrites dispersed in the glass matrix has been developed, and deformation mechanisms about the tensile property have been investigated by focusing on twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) effect. The Ti-based MGMC has excellent tensile properties and pronounced tensile work-hardening capacity, with a yield strength of 1100 MPa and homogeneous elongation of 4%. The distinguished strain hardening is ascribed to the formation of deformation twinning within the dendrites. Twinning generated in the dendrites works as an obstacle for the rapid propagation of shear bands, and then, the localized necking is avoided, which ensures the ductility of such kinds of composites. Besides, a finite-element model (FEM) has been established to explain the TWIP effect which brings out a work-hardening behavior in the present MGMC instead of a localized strain concentration. According to the plasticity theory of traditional crystal materials and some new alloys, TWIP effect is mainly controlled by stacking fault energy (SFE), which has been analyzed intensively in the present MGMC.

Abstract
Although there is difficulty in growing a Ti-33Nb-4Sn single crystal due to its ultralow β-phase stability, the single-crystal elastic constants of metastable β-type Ti-33Nb-4Sn (wt%) alloy were extracted successfully from its polycrystal by in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction technique, to clarify the origin of the ultralow Young's modulus in its polycrystal. It is indicated that compared to binary TiCr, TiV and TiNb alloys, the Ti-33Nb-4Sn alloy possesses slightly lower β-phase stability with respect to {110}<110>(-)shear (i.e., C׳) but much lower β-phase stability regarding to {001}〈100〉 shear (i.e., C44). An analysis by the Hill approximation suggests that the ultralow isotropic polycrystalline Young׳s modulus (EH) of Ti-33Nb-4Sn alloy originates from the extremely low shear modulus C44 as well as the relatively low C׳. This indicates that in addition to C׳, C44 has a significant contribution to the Young's modulus of polycrystal, which challenges a conventional understanding that the Young's modulus of β-type Ti alloys is predominantly determined by C׳.

An improved tensile deformation model for in-situ dendrite/metallic glass matrix composites. Sci Rep 2015; 5:13964.

Abstract
With regard to previous tensile deformation models simulating the tensile behavior of in-situ dendrite-reinforced metallic glass matrix composites (MGMCs) [Qiao et al., Acta Mater. 59 (2011) 4126; Sci. Rep. 3 (2013) 2816], some parameters, such as yielding strength of the dendrites and glass matrix, and the strain-hardening exponent of the dendrites, are estimated based on literatures. Here, Ti48Zr18V12Cu5Be17 MGMCs are investigated in order to improve the tensile deformation model and reveal the tensile deformation mechanisms. The tensile behavior of dendrites is obtained experimentally combining nano-indentation measurements and finite-element-method analysis for the first time, and those of the glass matrix and composites are obtained by tension. Besides, the tensile behavior of the MGMCs is divided into four stages: (1) elastic-elastic, (2) elastic-plastic, (3) plastic-plastic (work-hardening), and (4) plastic-plastic (softening). The respective constitutive relationships at different deformation stages are quantified. The calculated results coincide well with the experimental results. Thus, the improved model can be applied to clarify and predict the tensile behavior of the MGMCs.

Abstract
The β-titanium alloy is thought to be a promising alloy using as orthopedic or dental implants owing to its characteristics, which contains low elastic modulus, high corrosion resistance and well biocompatibility. Our previous study has reported that a new β-titanium alloy Ti35Nb2Ta3Zr showed low modulus close to human bone, equal tissue compatibility to a traditional implant alloy Ti6Al4V. In this study, micro-arc oxidation (MAO) was applied on the Ti35Nb2Ta3Zr alloy to enhance its surface characteristics and biocompatibility and osseointegration ability. Two different coatings were formed, TiO2 doped with calcium-phosphate coating (Ca-P) and calcium-phosphate-strontium coating (Ca-P-Sr). Then we evaluated the effects of the MAO coatings on the Ti35Nb2Ta3Zr alloy through in vitro and in vivo tests. As to the characteristics of the coatings, the morphology, chemical composition, surface roughness and contact angle of MAO coatings were tested by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and video contact-angle measurement system respectively. Besides, we performed MTT assay, ALP test and cell morphology-adhesion test on materials to evaluate the MAOed coating materials' biocompatibility in vitro. The in vivo experiment was performed through rabbit model. Alloys were implanted into rabbits' femur shafts, then we performed micro-CT, histological and sequential fluorescent labeling analysis to evaluate implants' osseointegration ability in vivo. Finally, the Ca-P specimens and Ca-P-Sr specimens exhibited a significant enhancement in surface roughness, hydrophilicity, cell proliferation, cell adhesion. More new bone was found around the Ca-P-Sr coated alloy than Ca-P coated alloy and Ti35Nb2Ta3Zr alloy. In conclusion, the MAO treatment improved in vitro and in vivo performance of Ti35Nb2Ta3Zr alloy. The Ca-P-Sr coating may be a promising modified surface formed by MAO for the novel β-titanium alloy Ti35Nb2Ta3Zr.

Abstract
We describe a dynamical phase transition occurring within a shear band at high temperature and under extremely high shear rates. With increasing temperature, dislocation deformation and grain boundary sliding are supplanted by amorphization in a highly localized nanoscale band, which allows for massive strain and fracture. The mechanism is similar to shear melting and leads to liquid metal embrittlement at high temperature. From simulation, we find that the necessary conditions are lack of dislocation slip systems, low thermal conduction, and temperature near the melting point. The first two are exhibited by bcc titanium alloys, and we show that the final one can be achieved experimentally by adding low-melting-point elements: specifically, we use insoluble rare earth metals (REMs). Under high shear, the REM becomes mixed with the titanium, lowering the melting point within the shear band and triggering the shear-melting transition. This in turn generates heat which remains localized in the shear band due to poor heat conduction. The material fractures along the shear band. We show how to utilize this transition in the creation of new titanium-based alloys with improved machinability.

Abstract
In the present work, B4C/2024Al composites with volume fraction of 45% were prepared by a pressure infiltration method. The microstructure of the crater bottom of B4C/2024Al composite after impact was characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), which indicated that recovery and dynamic recrystallization generated in Al matrix, and the grain size distribution was about from dozens of nanometer to 200 nm. Furthermore, the plastic deformation was observed in B4C ceramic, which led to the transformation from monocrystal to polycrystal ceramic grains. The boundary observed in this work was high-angle grain boundary and the two grains at the boundary had an orientation difference of 30°.

Abstract
The use of nanostructuring to improve the stability of passive thin films on biomaterials can enhance their effectiveness in corrosion resistance and reduce the release of ions. The thickness of the ultrathin films that cover Ti and Ti alloys (only several nanometers) has prevented researchers from establishing systematic methods for their characterization. This study employed a multifunctional biomedical titanium alloy Ti-24Nb-4Zr-8Sn (wt.%) as a model material. Coarse-grained (CG) and nanostructured (NS) alloys were analyzed in 0.9% NaCl solution at 37°C. To reveal the details of the passive film, a method of sample preparation producing a passive layer suitable for transmission electron microscope analysis was developed. Electrochemical corrosion behavior was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization tests and Mott-Schottky measurements. Surface depth chemical profile and morphology evolution were performed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and in situ atomic force microscopy, respectively. A mechanism was proposed on the basis of the point defect model to compare the corrosion resistance of the passive film on NS and CG alloys. Results showed that the protective amorphous film on NS alloy is thicker, denser and more homogeneous with fewer defects than that on CG alloy. The film on NS alloy contains more oxygen and corrosion-resistant elements (Ti and Nb), as well as their suboxides, compared with the film on CG alloy. These characteristics can be attributed to the rapid, uniform growth of the passive film facilitated by nanostructuring.

Abstract
In-situ dendrite/metallic glass matrix composites (MGMCs) with a composition of Ti46Zr20V12Cu5Be17 exhibit ultimate tensile strength of 1510 MPa and fracture strain of about 7.6%. A tensile deformation model is established, based on the five-stage classification: (1) elastic-elastic, (2) elastic-plastic, (3) plastic-plastic (yield platform), (4) plastic-plastic (work hardening), and (5) plastic-plastic (softening) stages, analogous to the tensile behavior of common carbon steels. The constitutive relations strongly elucidate the tensile deformation mechanism. In parallel, the simulation results by a finite-element method (FEM) are in good agreement with the experimental findings and theoretical calculations. The present study gives a mathematical model to clarify the work-hardening behavior of dendrites and softening of the amorphous matrix. Furthermore, the model can be employed to simulate the tensile behavior of in-situ dendrite/MGMCs.

Abstract
Titanium with surface nanostructure has superior mechanical and biological properties, which benefits titanium implants. To further improve the bioactivity of Ti surfaces, Ca/P-containing porous titania coatings were prepared on Ti with surface nanostructure by ultrasonic shot peening (USP) and micro-arc oxidation (MAO). The phase identification, composition, morphology and microstructure of the coatings of Ti with surface nanostructure during MAO were investigated subsequently. The amounts of Ca, P and the Ca/P ratio of the coatings formed on Ti with surface nanostructure were greater than those on coarse-grained Ti. Incubated in a simulated body fluid, bone-like apatite was completely formed on the surface of Ti, thus evidencing preferable bioactivity.

Abstract
Ti-24Nb-4Zr-7.9Sn (TNZS) alloy is a newly developed β-titanium alloy considered suitable for dental implant applications due to its low elastic modulus and high strength. The aim of this study was to investigate the corrosion behavior of TNZS alloy through a static immersion test in various simulated physiological solutions, namely, artificial saliva, lactic acid solution, fluoridated saliva, and fluoridated acidified saliva for 7 days. The corrosion behavior of commercially pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V alloy were also examined for comparison. The elemental release was measured with inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy, and the changes of alloy surface were observed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The test results showed that the quantity of each metal element released from TNZS alloy into fluoridated solutions was much higher than the solutions without fluoride ions. It was highest in fluoridated acidified saliva and lowest in artificial saliva (p < 0.01). The total elemental release from TNZS alloy was lower than commercially pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V alloy in the same solution (p < 0.01). SEM micrographs indicated that TNZS alloy possessed better corrosion resistant performance. It can be concluded that fluoridated solutions have a negative influence on the corrosion behavior of TNZS alloy. Compared with commercially pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V alloy, TNZS alloy demonstrates better corrosion resistance in various simulated physiological solutions, so it has greater potential for dental implant applications.

Synthesis and properties of hydroxyapatite-containing porous titania coating on ultrafine-grained titanium by micro-arc oxidation. Acta Biomater 2010; 6:2816-25.

Abstract
Equal channel angular pressing results in ultrafine-grained (approximately 200-500 nm) Ti with superior mechanical properties without harmful alloying elements, which benefits medical implants. To further improve the bioactivity of Ti surfaces, Ca/P-containing porous titania coatings were prepared on ultrafine-grained and coarse-grained Ti by micro-arc oxidation (MAO). The phase identification, composition, morphology and microstructure of the coatings and the thermal stability of ultrafine-grained Ti during MAO were investigated subsequently. The amounts of Ca, P and the Ca/P ratio of the coatings formed on ultrafine-grained Ti were greater than those on coarse-grained Ti. Nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite and alpha-Ca(3)(PO(4))(2) phases appeared in the MAO coating formed on ultrafine-grained Ti for 20 min (E20). Incubated in a simulated body fluid, bone-like apatite was completely formed on the surface of E20 after 2 days, thus evidencing preferable bioactivity. Compared with initial ultrafine-grained Ti, the microhardness of the E20 substrate was reduced by 8% to 2.9 GPa, which is considerably more than that of coarse-grained Ti (approximately 1.5 GPa).

Abstract
Ti2448 (Ti-24Nb-4Zr-8Sn wt.%) is a metastable type titanium alloy developed recently for biomedical applications. The alloy possesses good biomechanical compatibility with human bone, in terms of high strength and an elastic modulus approaching that of the hard tissue of human body, as well as biochemical compatibility since it contains only nontoxic alloying elements. Bone plates manufactured from the Ti2448 alloy has undergone clinical trials and an application for product permission has been submitted to FDA of China. We review briefly the methodology of alloy design and peculiar properties including pronounced nonlinear elasticity and localized plastic deformation. Variations of mechanical properties with processing scheme will be presented. The positive effects of improved elastic matching between implant and bone on healing fractured bone are demonstrated by new bone formation at intramedullary nails implanted in New Zealand white rabbits and bone plates implanted in Beagle dogs.

Abstract
We demonstrate reversible movement of 1/2[11[over ]0](110) dislocation loops generated from nanodisturbances in a beta-titanium alloy. High resolution transmission electron microscope observations during an in situ tensile test found three reversible deformation mechanisms, nanodisturbances, dislocation loops and martensitic transformation, that are triggered in turn with increasing applied stress. All three mechanisms contribute to the nonlinear elasticity of the alloy. The experiments also revealed the evolution of the dislocation loops to disclination dipoles that cause severe local lattice rotations.

Abstract
Due to recent concern about allergic and toxic effects of Ni ions released from TiNi alloy into human body, much attention has been focused on the development of new Ni-free, metastable beta-type biomedical titanium alloys with a reversible phase transformation between the beta phase and the alpha'' martensite. This study investigates the effect of the stress-induced alpha'' martensite on the mechanical and fatigue properties of Ti-24Nb-4Zr-7.6Sn (wt.%) alloy. The results show that the as-forged alloy has a low dynamic Young's modulus of 55GPa and a recoverable tensile strain of approximately 3%. Compared with Ti-6Al-4V ELI, the studied alloy has quite a high low-cycle fatigue strength because of the effective suppression of microplastic deformation by the reversible martensitic transformation. Due to the low critical stress required to induce the martensitic transformation, it has low fatigue endurance comparable to that of Ti-6Al-4V ELI. Cold rolling produces a beta+alpha'' two-phase microstructure that is characterized by regions of nano-size beta grains interspersed with coarse grains containing alpha'' martensite plates. Cold rolling increases fatigue endurance by approximately 50% while decreasing the Young's modulus to 49GPa along the rolling direction but increasing it to 68GPa along the transverse direction. Due to the effective suppression of the brittle isothermal omega phase, balanced properties of high strength, low Young's modulus and good ductility can be achieved through ageing treatment at intermediate temperature.
