Featured Case Study
Fracture of Titanium Sternal Plates A metallurgical evaluation was requested to investigate the fracture of three titanium sternal plates that had failed in vivo after a shorter than expected service life. The plate material was wrought unalloyed titanium. The objective of the analysis was to determine the fracture mechanism for…
