Study on the DOS/Overlapping Electron Density and Density-Elastic Modulus Correlation Analysis of β-Ti-Based Ti-M (M=Zr, Ag, Au, Cu) Alloys
This study investigated the influence of alloying elements on the elastic modulus variation of titanium alloys and conducted theoretical density calculations, yielding the following conclusions. In Ti-M (M=Zr, Ag, Au, and Cu) alloys, the Md value ranges from 2.89325 to 11.1530, and the Bo value ranges from 2.30180 to 3.22978. Ti-Zr alloys are most suitable as optimal dental implant materials in terms of electronic structural stability and strength. Ti–Au and Ti–Ag primarily contribute to biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and antibacterial performance, while offering less benefit for mechanical strengthening. Ti-Cu, while having low structural stability, exhibits excellent antibacterial functionality and is therefore worthy of consideration as a supplementary alloying element. The physical properties of ‑titanium–based Ti–M binary alloys have been examined, and future research will focus on extending the study to ternary and quaternary titanium alloy systems.
