چکیده
The effect of oxygen content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Ti-29mass%Nb-13mass%Ta-4.6mass%Zr (TNTZ) alloy was investigated in this study. The microstructural observation of TNTZ alloys, containing 0.1–0.4mass% oxygen, subjected to solution treatment shows the presence of a single phase. With an increase in oxygen content, the hardness, tensile strength, and Young’s modulus of TNTZ alloy increase, but its elongation decreases. Further, the phase precipitates in TNTZ alloys subjected to aging treatment at 723K for 259.2 ks. The results of transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis indicate that the size and volume fraction of the phase increase with oxygen content. Corresponding to the changes in the microstructure, the mechanical properties of TNTZ alloy subjected to aging treatment at 723K change with oxygen content. The increase in oxygen content leads to enhancement of the age hardening of TNTZ alloy, thereby increasing both tensile strength and Young’s modulus of TNTZ alloy, but its elongation decreases due to the -phase precipitation. The mechanical properties of TNTZ alloy (Young’s modulus: around 60–100GPa, tensile strength: around 600–1400MPa, and elongation: around 5–25%) vary significantly depending on oxygen content and heat treatment.

Isotropic plasticity of β-type Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr alloy single crystals for the development of single crystalline β-Ti implants
β-type Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr alloy is a promising novel material for biomedical applications. We have proposed a 'single crystalline β-Ti implant' as new hard tissue replacements for suppressing the stress shielding by achieving a drastic reduction in the Young's modulus. To develop this, the orientation dependence of the plastic deformation behavior of the Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr single crystal was fi...
متن کاملInfluence of Alloy Elements on the Osteoconductivity of Anodized Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr Alloy
Anodizing is expected to be an effective method to improve the osteoconductivity of the Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr (TNTZ) alloy because the bioactivity of anodized Ti is good. However, it is not known how the alloy elements influence the surface roughness, composition, hydrophilicity, and osteoconductivity of the anodized film on the Ti alloy. In this study, we investigated the effects of anodizing on ...

Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) has served as a useful standard to check the bioactivity of implant materials for years. However, it is not perfectly able to imitate human serum; sometimes disparities between the SBF test and animal test were confirmed. Therefore, to ensure the reliability of the results of the SBF test obtained from our previous study, an animal study was performed to check osteoco...
