Resumo |
Titanium-strontia (Ti-SrO) metal matrix composites (MMCs) with 0, 1, 3 and 5% (weight ratio) of SrO have been fabricated through the powder metallurgy method. Increasing the weight ratio of SrO from 0 to 5%, the compressive strength of Ti-SrO MMCs increased from 982 MPa to 1753 MPa, while the ultimate strain decreased from 0.28 to 0.05. The elastic moduli of Ti-3SrO and Ti-5SrO MMCs were higher than those of Ti and Ti-1SrO MMC samples. Additionally, the micro hardness of Ti-SrO MMCs was enhanced from 59% to 190% with the addition of SrO. The enhanced compression strength and micro hardness of Ti-SrO MMCs were attributed to the Hall-Petch effect and the SrO dispersion strengthening in the Ti matrix. MTS assay results demonstrated that Ti-SrO MMCs with 3% SrO exhibited enhanced proliferation of osteoblast-like cells. Alkaline phosphatase activity of cells was not influenced significantly on the surface of Ti-SrO MMCs compared with pure Ti in a term longer than 10 days. The cell morphology on the Ti-SrO MMCs was observed using confocal microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, which confirmed that the Ti-3%SrO MMCs showed optimal in vitro biocompatibility.
