Özet

Background: The Ti-6Al-4V alloy and 316L stainless steel are widely used biocompatible implant materials for repairing bone fractures and their mechanical properties are now being considered for various other applications. Due to the mentioned reasons, we initially investigated and determined the mechanical effects of these biocompatible implant materials. In the sequel, as a novelty of this study, we adopted a unique approach to investigating these materials and sought to determine if coating the Ti-6Al-4V alloy and 316L stainless steel with graphene or carbon nanotubes (CNTs) could provide superior mechanical properties compared to when their surface is uncoated.
