Zr, Nb, and Ta as alloying elements for Ti alloys are important for attaining superior corrosion resistance and biocompatibility in the long term. However, note that the addition of excess Nb and Ta to Ti alloys leads to higher manufacturing cost. To develop low-cost manufacturing processes, the effects of hot-forging and continuous-hot-rolling conditions on the microstructure, mechanical prope...

A systematic investigation of the fretting fatigue behavior of the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V in both the mill-annealed (MA) and the solution-treated and overaged (STOA) conditions was carried out. A sphere-on-flat fretting fatigue device was used that facilitated real-time control and monitoring of all the relevant parameters such as the contact geometry, contact (normal and tangential) loads, a...

A novel ?+? titanium alloy with multi-alloying addition was designed based on the cluster formula 12[Al-Ti12](AlTi2)+5[Al-Ti14](AlV12Mo06Nb02) which derived from Ti-6Al-4V. The nominal composition of this determined as Ti-6.83Al-2.28V-2.14Mo-0.69Nb-6.79Zr. In study, and Ti-6Al-4V samples were prepared by laser additive manufacturing. microstructure, micro-hardness, room/high temperature tensile...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the microtensile bond strength of various resin composite/adhesive systems to alumina particle abraded Ti-6Al-4V substrate after aging for 24h, 10 days, and 30 days in distilled water at 37 degrees C. METHODS Four laboratory resin composite veneering systems (Gradia, GR; Solidex, SOL; Ceramage, CER; and Sinfony, SF) were bonded to 25 mm dia...

Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy has great application in medicine and military industries due to its capabilities, namely high strength to weight ratio and corrosion resistance. In the current research, the effect of aging treatment on microstructure and wear behavior of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy was investigated. Pin on disk wear test was applied to assess the wear behavior. Specimens were first solut...
