The effects of the hydrogenation stage on microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy produced by powder metallurgy have been studied. Powder alloys have been produced by hydrogenation with 250 MPa or 1 GPa and via high energy planetary ball milling. Samples were isostatically pressed at 200 MPa and sintered at 1150 °C for 7, 10 and 13 hours. Elastic modulus and microhardness were determined using a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) and a Vickers microhardness tester. Density of the samples was measured using a liquid displacement system. Microstructure and phases presents were analyzed employing scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Elastic modulus was 81.3  0.8 and 62.6  0.6 GPa for samples produced by 250 MPa and 1 GPa hydrogenation, respectively when sintered for 7h.

Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy produced via powder metallurgy was submitted to heat treatment under various conditions and the effects on microstructure and elastic modulus were investigated. Heat treatment was performed using temperatures above and below α/β transus combined with different cooling rates – furnace cooling and water quenching. Microstructure and phases were analyzed employing scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Elastic Modulus was determined using a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). The results indicated that α phase precipitation and elastic modulus values increased after heat treatment performed using temperature below α/β transus. However, when it was performed above α/β transus and using higher cooling rate, a decrease in elastic modulus was observed despite higher α phase precipitation, indicating that the microstructural modifications observed via SEM, due to the presence of martensitic α phase, influenced on elastic modulus values.

Titanium alloy are widely used in biomedical applications due to their excellent properties such as high strength, good corrosion resistance and excellent biocompatibility. Researches are being developed with elements such as Nb and Zr that reach all criterions for excellent biocompatibility and provide titanium alloys with Young’s modulus close to human bone. The aim of this work was to produce Ti-27Nb-13Zr alloy with different milling times by powder metallurgy process. The mixtures were performed by high energy milling and sintering in high vacuum furnace with temperature of 1300 °C / 3 h. The microstructures of samples were analyzed by SEM and XRD, while the mechanical behavior was evaluated by elastic modulus and Vickers hardness test. The diffraction results of sintering treatment indicate that the alloys are composed of α and β phases. Images obtained by SEM indicate the formation of equiaxial structures. Vickers hardness measurements from sintered samples with 1300 °C / 3 h indicate mean values around 413, 473 and 609 HV for 2, 6 and 10 hours of milling, respectively. The values of elastic modulus enable use the alloy as biomaterial.

Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) reinforced Mg alloy AZ31 nanocomposites were fabricated by mechanical alloying and powder metallurgy technique. The reinforcement material MWCNTs were blended in three weight fractions (0.33%, 0.66%, and 1%) with the matrix material AZ31 (Al-3%, zinc-1% rest Mg) and blended through mechanical alloying using a high energy planetary ball mill. Specimens of monolithic AZ31 and AZ31-MWCNT composites were fabricated through powder metallurgy technique. The microstructure, density, hardness, porosity, ductility, and tensile properties of monolithic AZ31 and AZ31-MWCNT nano composites were characterized and compared. The characterization reveals significant reduction in CNT (carbon nanoTube) agglomeration and enhancement in microstructure and mechanical properties due to mechanical alloying through ball milling.
