Recrystallization Temperature Influence upon Structural Changes of 90% Cold Rolled Ti-29Nb-9Ta-10Zr Biocompatible Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

In recent years a significant increase in new Ti-based biocompatible alloys (such as TiTaZr or TiTa-Nb-Zr) development was reported. Titanium and its alloys have been widely used in medicine since the 1960s because of their known biocompatibility, superior mechanical properties, low density and remarkable chemical stability. The present study investigates the microstructures and the mechanical properties of a Ti-29Nb-9Ta-10Zr (wt.%) alloys in order to investigate structural changes occurred during recrystallization treatment of 90% cold rolled Ti-29Nb-9Ta-10Zr (wt.%) alloy. The investigated alloy was fabricated by vacuum arc induction melting in levitation, using a FIVES CELES MP 25 furnace, starting from elemental components. Structural changes occurred during recrystallization treatment were investigated using X-ray diffraction, using a Philip PW 3710 diffractometer, in Bragg-Brentano θ-2θ geometry, with negligible instrumental broadening. Data concerning alloys component phases, average coherent crystallite size and internal average micro-strain was obtained.
