Effect of Sintering Temperature on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Ti Mo Alloys

Abstract:

The medical Ti-20Mo alloys were fabricated by powder metallurgy. The effects of sintering temperature on the phase, the morphology and the mechanical properties of Ti-Mo alloys were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mechanical properties test methods. The results showed that after sintering at 1200 °C, the microstructure of Ti-Mo alloys mainly consisted of α phase. The increasing sintering time could promote α→β phase transition, thus the flexural strength and the elastic modulus of Ti-Mo alloys could be controlled. When the sintering temperature was 1300 °C, molybdenum content was 20%, the bending strength and the compressive strength of Ti-20Mo alloy were 1369MPa and 2602MPa respectively, and the elastic modulus was 3.4GPa. It may be concluded that the Ti-20Mo alloys is prospective prostheses materials.
