OPTIMISATION OF INTENSIVE PLASTIC DEFORMATION PROCESSES FOR TITANIUM ALLOYS TO IMPROVE THE BIOMECHANICAL COMPATIBILITY OF THE ‘BONE–IMPLANT’ SYSTEM
This study investigates the effect of intensive plastic deformation on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a titanium material with potential for use in bone–implant systems. To achieve an ultra-fine-grained microstructure, a combined treatment was employed, comprising quenching at 1000 °C followed by water...
