Title: Xujun Mi - Innovator in Beta-Based Titanium Alloys
Introduction
Xujun Mi is an accomplished inventor based in Beijing, China. He is currently affiliated with the Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials. Although he has not yet been granted any patents, his work focuses on innovative materials that have significant applications in various fields.
Latest Patent Applications
Xujun Mi's latest patent applications include a beta-based titanium alloy with a low elastic modulus. This alloy comprises 37 wt. % to 41 wt. % niobium (Nb), 5 wt. % to 8 wt. % zirconium (Zr), and a balance of titanium (Ti), along with unavoidable impurities. The elastic modulus of this alloy is 47 GPa or lower, which is considerably lower than that of typical biomedical titanium alloys. This characteristic helps to address the 'stress shield effect,' making the alloy suitable for a wide range of applications. These applications include general civilian goods such as eyewear frames, headsets, and sports and leisure products, as well as biomedical materials for artificial bones, teeth, and hip joints. Additionally, the alloy is designed to be biocompatible, containing no harmful elements to the human body.
Conclusion
Xujun Mi's contributions to the field of materials science, particularly in developing beta-based titanium alloys, hold promise for various industries. His innovative approach addresses critical challenges in biomedical applications and everyday products.
