Pure Titanium F67 Gr 4

Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the earth's crust and the fourth metallic element. Its atomic number is 22, near copper, nickel and iron, in the periodic table. Titanium is a metal element well known for its excellent corrosion resistance and its great mechanical strength. Titanium is a lightweight metal, strong and easy to manufacture with low density, as strong as steel and 45% lighter.

The Titanium was a laboratory curiosity until 1946, when Kroll developed a process for the commercial production of Titanium by reducing the tetra chloride of Titanium. Over time, new titanium alloys have been developed.

In the last three decades, the use of Titanium has grown rapidly and significantly in the area of surgical instruments and implants. Titanium and its alloys have been experienced in numerous situations. Scientists from the Los Alamos Laboratory (United States) and Bashkir State University (Russia) have developed Pure Titanium, an element suitable for the manufacture of medical implants. Pure Titanium has stronger, lighter and corrosion resistant elements. The Pure Titanium comes from the junction of ECAP processes ("Equal Channel Angular Pressing") and cold extrusion.

Titanium plates have been suggested as bone anchoring material since the 1940s, and their use in dentistry began around the 1960s, with the Branemark system, which introduced the concept of bone integration.

Pure Titanium has levels between 98% and 99.5% of purity and is available in four degrees, varying according to the levels of oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon and iron. The classification follows a growing pattern,
where the Pure Titanium FG Gr 4 is the hardest and the Gr 1 is the softest. Its use is widespread in dental implants, which are structures in Pure Titanium, placed in the maxilla or mandible, which replace the roots of
Lost teeth.

Pure Titanium type GR 2 and GR 4, are usually used in dental implants. GR 4 indicates a material with high oxygen and iron content. The incorporation of these elements in Titanium increases the resistance limit and
The traction.

The Pure Titanium F67 Gr 4 (is available in bar, profile and plate), is the toughest type that exists. This material is recommended for medical applications requiring high friction resistance. This alloy is generally considered chemically inert, compatible with human tissues and resistant to corrosion caused by human fluids. In these cases, Pure Titanium F67 is the best option.

For these areas, the Pure Titanium F67 Gr 4 to be used in implant production is defined by the specifications of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). In this case, ASTM F67 – "Standard Specification for Unalloyed Titanium, for Surgical Implant Applications" (UNS R50250, UNS R50400, UNS R50550, UNS R50700), determines the patterns of Pure Titanium to be used in such procedures with F67 Gr 4.

Through these technical specifications, medical researchers evaluated the commercially pure Pure Titanium F67 Gr 4, defining them as exceptional materials for applications in surgical implants.
