In this study, PCL electrospun fibers were deposited on the Ti-30Ta alloy for change the surface properties. Experimental Ti-30Ta alloy was obtained by melting titanium and tantalum in arc melting furnace with argon atmosphere. Ingots were homogenized and bars with 10 mm of diameter were obtained in rotative swagging. PCL fibers were deposited on disks of the alloy by electrospinning. Plasma treatment was carried out for change PCL electrospun superficial energy by using stainless steel plasma reactor. Samples were immersed in mineralization solution for apatite growth. Surfaces were evaluated by using SEM, X-rays diffraction and contact angle. Samples exhibited hydrophilic behavior after plasma treatment and mineralization. Results are very interesting for biomedical applications.

Ti-based alloys present unique properties and hence, are employed in several industrial segments. Among Ti alloys, β type alloys form one of the most versatile classes of materials in relation to processing, microstructure and mechanical properties. It is well known that heat treatment of Ti alloys plays an important role in determining their microstructure and mechanical behavior. The aim of this work is to analyze microstructure and phases formed during cooling of β Ti-Nb-Sn alloy through different cooling rates. Initially, samples of Ti-Nb-Sn system were prepared through arc melting furnace. After, they were subjected to continuous cooling experiments to evaluate conditions for obtaining metastable phases. Microstructure analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction were performed in order to evaluate phase transformations. Depending on the cooling rate and composition, α” martensite, ω phase and β phase were obtained. Elastic modulus has been found to decrease as the amount of Sn was increased.

In this study, plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) on Ti–xNb–2Ag–2Pt alloys for nano- and micro-pore formation in electrolyte with Ca and P ions for dental implant use was studied using various experimental equipment. The Ti–xNb–2Ag–2Pt alloys were fabricated using a vacuum arc melting furnace, and micro-pores were created through PEO-treatment in an electrolyte containing Ca and P ions. The PEO-treated surface was observed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The microstructure of Ti– xNb–2Ag–2Pt alloys showed the transformation of needle-like structure to equiaxed structure, as Nb content increased. Adding small amounts of Ag and Pt to Ti–xNb alloys, microstructure was not observed the significantly difference compared to Ti–xNb. The nano- and micro-pore sizes increased as the Nb content increased after PEO-treatment of Ti-xNb. In the case of Ti–50Nb–2Ag–2Pt, groove structure was observed, also the Ca/P ratio increased as the Nb content increased. The oxide layer thickness of Ti–xNb–2Ag–2Pt alloys was increased, as the Nb content increased.

As-cast (Fe0.83Ga0.17)100-xYx (x=0, 3, 6 and 9) alloys were prepared by non-consumable vacuum arc melting furnace under a protective argon atmosphere. The crystal structures and surface morphologies of the alloys were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), combined with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. The surface domain structures were observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The magnetostriction coefficients of the alloys were measured by strain gauging method. The results showed that the as-cast Fe83Ga17 alloy was composed only of a single phase of A2 with bcc structure, whereas the ternary Fe-Ga-Y alloys contain multiphase structure, besides the A2 phase, (FeGa)17Y1.76 new phases are observed as well, and an elemental yttrium phase appeared when the yttrium content increased to x=6 and x=9. Doping with yttrium have an effect on the change of magnetic domain structure of the binary alloy. With increasing x, the magnetostriction coefficient of the (Fe0.83Ga0.17)100-xYx alloys decreased sharply. The minimum magnetostriction coefficient is reduced to 12 ppm at the magnetic field of 426kA/m when x=9.

The Al–Si–Fe system has drawn the attention of the scientific community due to its capacity to replace parts in several manufacturing industries, as this alloy system is very sensitive to small additions of transition metals. Therefore, the aim of this work is to study the effect of Cr, Ti, and Mn additions in the Al–20Si–5Fe (wt. %) alloy and to study the modification of the iron intermetallic and the microstructural refinement through the formation of secondary phases. Al–20Si–5Fe–X (X = Cr, Mn and Ti at 1.0, 3.0, and 5.0 wt. %) alloy ingots were prepared by arc melting furnace. The elemental chemical analysis was performed by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF). The microstructure of all samples was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Finally, microhardness was measured in order correlate the hardness with the formation of the different compounds. The highest hardness was found for the alloy with the 5 wt. % Cr. The addition of Ti and Mn raised the hardness by ~35 HVN (Vickers microhardness) when compared to that of AlSiFe master alloy. Important changes were also observed in the microstructure. Depending on the Cr, Ti, and Mn additions, the resulting microstructure was dendritic (CrFe), acicular (Ti5Si3), and “bone like” (Mn0.2Fe0.8), respectively.
