Forge-Hardened TiZr Null-Matrix Alloy for Neutron Scattering under Extreme Conditions
نویسندگان
چکیده
For neutron scattering research that is performed under extreme conditions, such as high static pressures, high-strength metals that are transparent to the neutron beam are required. The diffraction of the neutron beam by the metal, which follows Bragg’s law, can be completely removed by alloying two metallic elements that have coherent scattering lengths with opposite signs. An alloy of Ti and Zr, which is known as a TiZr null-matrix alloy, is an ideal combination for such purposes. In this study, we increased the hardness of a TiZr null-matrix alloy via extensive mechanical deformation at high temperatures. We successfully used the resulting product in a high-pressure cell designed for high-static-pressure neutron scattering. This hardened TiZr null-matrix alloy may play a complementary role to normal TiZr alloy in future neutron scattering research under extreme conditions.

Calculation of the P-T phase diagram and tendency toward decomposition in equiatomic TiZr alloy.
Electronic, structural and thermodynamic properties of the equiatomic alloy TiZr are calculated within the electron density functional theory and the Debye-Grüneisen model. The calculated values of the lattice parameters a and c/a agree well with the experimental data for the α, ω and β phases. The ω phase is shown to be stable at atmospheric pressure and low temperatures; it remains energetica...

Bone apposition to a titanium-zirconium alloy implant, as compared to two other titanium-containing implants.
Implants made of commercially pure titanium (cpTi) are widely and successfully used in dentistry. For certain indications, diameter-reduced Ti alloy implants with improved mechanical strength are highly desirable. The aim was to compare the osseointegration of titanium-zirconium (TiZr) and cpTi implants with a modified sandblasted and acid-etched (SLActive) surface and with a Ti6Al4V alloy that...

2014 A summary is given of data obtained from neutron diffraction experiments on heavy water at elevated pressures and temperatures using three different types of pressure vessel. The pressure vessels were manufactured from (i) hard steel (EN24T), (ii) titanium-zirconium null alloy, and (iii) autofrettaged aluminium alloy (7075-T6). In cases (i) and (ii), hydraulic pressures up to 6 kbar were a...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The osseointegration of dental implant is related to their composition and surface treatment. Titanium zirconium (TiZr) has been introduced as an alternative to the commercially pure titanium and its alloys as dental implant material, which is attributed to its superior mechanical and biological properties. Surface treatments of TiZr have been introduced to enhance their os...
