A dental implant includes a generally cylindrical body, an interior bore, and a non-rotational feature. The generally cylindrical body has a main-central axis and is formed from cold-worked, high strength, commercially pure titanium having an ultimate tensile strength of at least about 900 MPa. The generally cylindrical body has a proximal portion and an opposing distal portion for anchoring the dental implant in bone of a patient. The interior bore is formed in the generally cylindrical body and has (i) a bore-central axis and (ii) a threaded portion for receiving a screw that is configured to removable hold an abutment in engagement with the dental implant. The non-rotational feature is configured to engage the abutment in a non-rotational fashion.

A method of forming a wear resistant and galling resistant coating for abrasive environments and a feed material for the method are disclosed. The feed material is for forming a wear resistant and galling resistant coating on a substrate by a welding process that heats the feed and the substrate. The feed material comprises 35 to 50 wt % titanium nitride particles and a balance of commercially pure titanium or titanium alloy particles and incidental impurities. The method involves delivering the feed material to a surface of a substrate and exposing the feed material and the substrate to sufficient energy to cause at least the commercially pure titanium or titanium alloy particles in the feed to melt and at least some of the titanium nitride particles in the feed to melt, thereby forming a melt pool. On solidification of the melt pool, at least some of the titanium nitride particles are embedded in a matrix formed from melt pool, thereby forming a wear resistant and galling resistant coating on the substrate. A wear resistant and galling resistant coating formed of the feed material is also disclosed.

There is provided a titanium cast product for hot rolling composed of commercially pure titanium, the titanium cast product including: a microstructural refinement layer having acicular microstructure on an outermost layer of a surface layer to be rolled; and an inside microstructural refinement layer having acicular microstructure provided in an inside of the microstructural refinement layer. Cast solidification microstructure is present more inward than the inside microstructural refinement layer. The microstructural refinement layer has finer microstructure than the inside microstructural refinement layer. The microstructural refinement layer is present in a range of a depth of 1 mm or more and less than 6 mm from the surface. The inside microstructural refinement layer is present in an inside of the microstructural refinement layer in a range of a depth of 3 mm or more and 20 mm or less from the surface.

The present invention discloses a vacuum annealing technology of cold rolled commercial pure titanium coils, the technology comprising the following steps: putting 3 cold rolled commercial pure titanium coils of which the surface has been cleaned into a vacuum annealing furnace, and pre-vacuumizing the vacuum furnace until the vacuum degree is not higher than 2.0*10-3Pa; heating the furnace at a heating rate of 40~90 DEG C / h until the temperature of the furnace reaches 450~500 DEG C, and maintaining this temperature for 3~6 hours; keeping heating the furnace at a heating rate of 50~100 DEG C / h until the temperature of the furnace reaches 600~680 DEG C, adding inert gas of which the purity is not less than 99.99% into the furnace until the pressure reaches 2.0~8.0 kPa, and maintaining this temperature for 4~8 hours; closing the heating system, cooling the furnace at a cooling rate of 50~100 DEG C / h until the temperature of the furnace drops to 330~370 DEG C, starting a forced cooling system, and taking out the titanium coils when the temperature of the furnace is not higher than 150 DEG C. The smooth finish of annealed titanium coils is even. Through test, it is found that both the inner and external coils are of homogeneous structure, and the mechanical property is good, so that the requirements are fully met.
