Metals for biomedical devices
(ISBN 978-1-84569-434-0)
Despite recent advances in medical devices using other materials, metallic implants
is still one of the most commercially signifi cant sectors of the industry. This new
book provides a comprehensive review of the use of metals in biomedical applica-
tions and recent advances in this important area. Chapters in Part I provide readers
with the fundamentals of metals within the industry. Part II discusses the mechanical
behaviour, degradation and wear of metallic implants. Topics in Part III cover pro-
cessing methods and applications of metals within the medical implant industry, with
chapters on coatings, sterilisation and new generation metallic biomaterials.
Surface engineering of light alloys: aluminium, magnesium and titanium alloys
(ISBN 978-1-84569-537-8)
This authoritative book provides a comprehensive review of the various surface
engineering techniques employed to improve the properties of light alloys, focusing
on titanium, magnesium and aluminium alloys. It examines surface-related degrada-
tion of light alloys and covers surface engineering technologies in detail. The book
includes chapters on corrosion behaviour of Mg alloys, anodising treatments of Mg
alloys, micro-arc oxidation of light alloys, physical vapour deposition of light alloys,
PIII/PSII of light alloys; laser surface modifi cation of Ti alloys, plasma nitriding of
Ti and Al alloys, duplex surface treatments of light alloys and biomedical devices
using Ti alloys.
Shape memory alloys for biomedical applications
(ISBN 978-1-84569-344-2)
Shape memory metals are suitable for a wide range of biomedical devices including
applications in dentistry, bone repair, urology and cardiology. This book provides a
thorough review of shape memory metals and devices for medical applications. The
fi rst part discusses the materials, primarily Ti–Ni-based alloys; chapters cover the
mechanical properties, thermodynamics, composition, fabrication of parts, chemical
reactivity, surface modifi cation and biocompatibility. Medical and dental devices
using shape memory metals are reviewed in the following section; chapters cover
stents, orthodontic devices and endodontic instruments. Finally, future develop-
ments in this area are discussed including alternatives to Ti–Ni-based shape
memory alloys.
