Beta Ti Alloys with Low Young’s Modulus

چکیده
Composition dependence of Young’s modulus in Ti-V and Ti-Nb binary alloys and Sn-added ternary alloys quenched from phase region was investigated at room temperature in relation to the stability of phase. A minimum of Young’s modulus in the binary alloys appears at such a composition that athermal ! phase transformation is almost completely suppressed. Formation of isothermal ! phase by aging after quenching increases Young’s modulus. Sn addition to the binary alloys suppresses or retards ! transformation, thereby decreasing Young’s modulus. Optimization of alloy composition in Ti-Nb-Sn alloys leads to low Young’s modulus of about 40GPa. The composition dependence of Young’s modulus obtained experimentally in this study can be qualitatively explained by the theoretical discrete-variational X cluster method.

Biomedical titanium alloys with Young’s moduli close to that of cortical bone
Biomedical titanium alloys with Young's moduli close to that of cortical bone, i.e., low Young's modulus titanium alloys, are receiving extensive attentions because of their potential in preventing stress shielding, which usually leads to bone resorption and poor bone remodeling, when implants made of their alloys are used. They are generally β-type titanium alloys composed of non-toxic and all...
