Article Citation - WoS: 62Citation - Scopus: 69Titanium-Magnesium Based Composites: Mechanical Properties and In-Vitro Corrosion Response in Ringer's Solution(Elsevier Science Sa, 2013) Esen, Ziya; Dikici, Burak; Duygulu, Ozgur; Dericioglu, Arcan F.Ti-Mg composite rods exhibiting both bioinert and biodegradable characteristics have been manufactured by hot rotary swaging from elemental powders of titanium and magnesium. As a result of processing, spherical magnesium powders elongated in the direction of deformation and the dendritic structure in starting magnesium powders transformed into highly equiaxed grains. Magnesium particles in the outer layer of the composites were decorated by thin layer of MgO while the interior parts were free from oxides. As expected, Young's moduli, yield and peak strengths of the composites were observed to decrease with an increase in the magnesium content, while ductility of composites was enhanced by decreasing the amount of titanium. Composites fractured at an angle 45 to the loading axis along the titanium particle boundaries and through the magnesium particles via transgranular type of fracture with the accumulation of twins near the fracture surface of magnesium. Mechanical properties of the composites were observed to be comparable to that of bone and the composites exhibited biodegradable and bioinert character upon testing in Ringer's solution such that magnesium was selectively corroded and pores were formed at prior magnesium powder sites while titanium preserved its starting skeleton structure. In addition, it was found that volume ratio of titanium and magnesium, and continuous MgO layer are the most important parameters which should be considered in designing biodegradable magnesium alloys with an appropriate corrosion rate.

The interconnected pore structures enabled formation of homogenous sodium rich coating on the foam surfaces by allowing penetration of alkali solution throughout the pores which had average size of 200 mu m. The resulted coating layer having 500 nm thickness exhibited porous network morphology with 100 nm pore size. On the other hand, heat treatment conducted subsequent to alkali treatment at 600 degrees C in air transformed sodium rich coating into crystalline bioactive sodium titanate phases. Although the coatings obtained by additional heat treatment were mechanically stable and preserved their morphology, oxidation of the samples deteriorated the compressive strength significantly without affecting the elastic modulus. However, heat treated samples revealed better hydroxyapatite formation when soaked in simulated body fluid (SBF) compared to alkali treated foams. On the other hand, untreated surfaces containing bioactive TiO2 layer were observed to comprise of Ca and P rich precipitates only rather than hydroxyapatite within 15 days. The apatite formed on the treated porous surfaces was observed to have flower-like structure with Ca/P ratio around 1.5 close to that of natural bone. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
