Background
Biomaterial is a product of bio-mechanical engineering tool to provide the solution for joint replacement [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. There are number of biomaterials (metallic, ceramics, and polymers) has been developed by researchers for various orthopedics application like stent, scaffolds, hard tissue replacements, and spinal degenerative disc disease [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21]. Various advanced manufacturing processes has been
Materials and method
The new β-type metastatic Ti alloy group (Ti-35Nb-7Ta-5Zr) was formed using the method of vacuum arc melting during this research. Vacuum arc melting is a secondary method used for the processing of extremely chemical and mechanical ingots with high concentration in high demands, such as the biomaterials, the aerospace industry. During this process, a typical inert gas welding unit is used as a heat source. Heating is achieved by an electric arc struck in the inert atmosphere between a tungsten
Results and discussion
Fig. 4 illustrates β-TNTZ and β-TNTZht alloy's micro-structure, elementary composition, phase composition, and mechanical characteristics. The Microstructure, EDS-spectrum related, and HR-TEM crystallogram structure of β-TNTZ alloy as formed are seen in Fig. 4(a). The microstructural exam found that β-TNTZ alloy had a metastable β-phase of coarse grain size of ~ 250 μm, as otherwise reported [12]. The crystallographic analysis revealed that β-TNTZ was a metastable 'β' stage in the matrix, refer
Conclusions
The vacuum arc melting process was used to produce a low-elastic (55 GPa) alloy β-phase style Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr alloy. The β-phase alloy Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr has undergone thermal therapy in order to have mechanical suitability for HIP implants. After heat treatment, the strength of the tensile and micro-hardness of the β-TNTZ is increased from 590 to 1195 MPa and 245 to 515HV. The elastic module of the alloy β-TNTZ is 89 GPa, smaller than the alloy of Ti-4Al-4 V (110 GPa) and Co-Cr (220 GPa). The results

Evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties of a Ti<inf>80</inf>(CoFeNi)<inf>20</inf> ultrafine eutectic composite during thermal processing
2023, IntermetallicsCitation Excerpt :Compared with the β phase, the quenched αʺ martensite phase exhibited a slightly lower hardness, lower strength, and good ductility in a Ti-8 mass% Mo alloy [34], the aged ω-phase presented a higher hardness, high strength, and poor ductility in a Ti-ll.5Mo-4.5Sn–6Zr alloy [35], and rapid cooling and the subsequent αʹ transformation of Ti–6Al–4V and titanium alloys of various grades effectively enhanced the strength of the alloys [36]. Moreover, the relationship between the phase stability and mechanical properties of titanium alloys has been widely studied [37–39]. Based on previous studies on titanium alloys, it can expect that the thermal processing of Ti-based UFECs with a large volume fraction of β-Ti dendrites could potentially improve the mechanical properties of UFECs [40].
Computational design of corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant titanium alloys for orthopedic implants
2022, Materials Today CommunicationsCitation Excerpt :Though ZTA excels in these categories, it is prone to aging in the presence of water; a form of deterioration that leads to lowered strength and a higher risk of fracture [12]. Metal implants became available as the metal industry evolved and more manufacturing processes became available and refined [13–18]. Early implementations of metal implants suffered from a lack of quality control leading to low wear resistance and fracturing [19].
High-strength titanium alloys for aerospace engineering applications: A review on melting-forging process
2022, Materials Science and Engineering: ACitation Excerpt :Table 2 displays various phases (transitional phases and α phase) and their transformation routes during STA of HS-TAs, containing condition, type and detailed process of the specific transformations. It is found that orthorhombic martensite (α") and athermal ω (ωath) can be formed during ST [95–97], while there is the possibility for the generation of isothermal ω (ωiso) and β′ (kind of β phase lean of β-stabilizers) during AG [98,99]. These transitional phases have been verified to have positive effects on regulating the final situation of equilibrium-state α phase (distribution, size and morphology) rather than their direct participation in the alloys’ microstructure for practical application.
Investigation on surface roughness and hardness of β-Ti alloy by ball burnishing assisted electrical discharge cladding for bio-medical applications
2021, Materials Today: ProceedingsCitation Excerpt :Metallic biomaterials are being used as an implant material to support the biological tissues and structure for various dental, Hip, Knee, and acetabular-cup applications from the 16th century [1–5]. Among all metallic biomaterials, β-Phase titanium alloys have been most widely adopted recently for the biomedical application due to its excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility [6–10]. Despite of the excellent bio-mechanical integrity, there application has been found fall-short because of low surface hardness and poor wear resistance [11–14].
