Effect of Thermomechanical Treatments on the Mechanical Properties of New Low-Cost Ti-Fe-Nb-Zr Alloys

Abstract:

The development of new low-cost alloys composed of common elements that show high biocompatibility and mechanical properties matching with human bone is the target of many researches recently. Design and controlling the mechanical properties of newly developed set of Ti-xFe-3Zr-yNb (x=3-8 & y=2-3, at.%) low-cost alloys through applying different thermomechanical treatments is the aim of this work. Fe-content in the present designed alloys is changing in the range 3 to 8 at.%. The hardness and Young's modulus of the alloys were measured for the alloys in the solution treated, hot rolled and subsequent ageing at 400 °C and 550 °C. The phases separation and hence hardness of the aged alloys at 400 °C and 550 °C are highly dependent on the Fe-content in the alloy. The Young's modulus of the alloys is also changing with the Fe-content and heat treatment, where lowest modulus (~80GPa) is shown in the Ti-5Fe-3Zr-3Nb alloy in the solution treated condition.
