Abstract
Ruthenium (Ru) is a chemical element belonging to the platinum group and is advantageousfor being biocompatible, of low cytotoxicity and antimicrobial. The addition of Ru to the Ti-6Al-4V alloy isproposed as an alternative, since it can confer greater biocompatibility by improving corrosion resistance.Thus, this project proposes to characterize and evaluate the performance of Ti-6Al-4V-0.…
