Mechanical Properties of Thermomechanically-Processed Metastable Beta Ti-Nb-Zr Alloys for Biomedical Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

Metastable beta-titanium alloys combine exceptionally low Young's modulus and high biocompatibility, thus attracting special interest in the prospect of their application as biomedical implant material. In this work, Ti-21.8Nb-6Zr (at.%) ingots were manufactured by vacuum argon melting followed by hot isothermal pressing. The obtained ingots were thermomechanically processed using the following TMP sequence: a) cold rolling (CR) from e=0.37 to 2 of the logarithmic thickness reduction; and b) post-deformation annealing (PDA) of between 450 and 700°C (10’…5 h for 600°C and 1 h for other temperatures). The influence of the TMP on the alloy’s mechanical properties under static and cyclic loading was studied.
