The medical Ti-20Mo alloys were fabricated by powder metallurgy. The effects of sintering temperature on the phase, the morphology and the mechanical properties of Ti-Mo alloys were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mechanical properties test methods. The results showed that after sintering at 1200 °C, the microstructure of Ti-Mo alloys mainly consisted of α phase. The increasing sintering time could promote α→β phase transition, thus the flexural strength and the elastic modulus of Ti-Mo alloys could be controlled. When the sintering temperature was 1300 °C, molybdenum content was 20%, the bending strength and the compressive strength of Ti-20Mo alloy were 1369MPa and 2602MPa respectively, and the elastic modulus was 3.4GPa. It may be concluded that the Ti-20Mo alloys is prospective prostheses materials.

Phase constitution in the solution-treated and quenched state and the heat treatment behavior were investigated by electrical resistivity, hardness, and elastic modulus measurements, X-ray diffraction, and optical microscopy. Hexagonal martensite and the β phase were identified in the Zr-5mass%Nb alloy. β and ω phases were identified in the Zr-10 and 15mass%Nb alloys, and only the β phase was identified in the Ti-20Nb alloy. Resistivity at RT, Vickers hardness and elastic modulus increased up to 10Nb and then decreased dramatically at 15Nb. Above 15Nb, these values slightly decreased. The elastic moduli for 15Nb and 20Nb were 59.5 and 55.5 GPa, respectively. On isochronal heat treatment, the isothermal ω phase precipitated between 473 and 623 K and then the α phase precipitated in the 10Nb, 15Nb and 20Nb alloys.

The effect of Nb content on microstructure, mechanical properties and phase formation in as-melt and annealed binary Ti-Nb alloys were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The content of Nb varied in the range 25-35 mass % leading to significant changes in the microstructure. The annealed and furnace-cooled binary Ti-Nb samples exhibited HCP martensitic α` phase at a Nb content below 27.5 mass % and metastable BCC β phase at higher contents of Nb. The mechanical properties of alloys depended strongly on the Nb content and type of the dominating phase.

The results of investigation of the structure, physical and mechanical properties of the Ti-Nb alloy ingots with different composition obtained by arc melting are presented. X-ray diffraction and microstructural analyses were used. Microhardness was measured and the Young’s modulus of the alloys was evaluated. When the content of niobium in the alloy changes from 10 to 40 mass.%, phase composition of the alloy varies from α-and α'-phase (10 mass.% of Nb) to α'-, α''- and β-phases (25 mass.% of Nb), to the β-phase (40 mass.% of Nb). The alloy containing 40 mass.% Nb has the lowest Young’s modulus.

Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

The functionalization of β-Ti alloys by the addition of small amounts of bactericidal elements is interesting for biomedical applications. Thus, alloying pure titanium with highly biocompatible elements such as Nb or Ta, stabilizes the β phase of the resulting alloy although they can also include difficulties during the fabrication process due to their refractory nature. This work studies the effect of small additions of Ag and Cu (1.5 to 3 wt.%) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Ti34Nb (wt.%) alloy processed by powder metallurgy. The blend elemental powders were mixed (30 rpm during 30 min). The samples were compacted at 600 MPa and sintered at 1250 oC during 3 hours. The microstructure was analyzed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope with X-Ray Spectroscopy (FE-SEM/EDS). The mechanical properties were obtained by bending tests; the elastic modulus was measured by ultrasonic methods and the porosity by Archimedes test. Cu addition generates the appearance of α phase sheets inside the β phase grains. Cu also decreases the open porosity and increases the closed porosity of the material. On the contrary, Ag addition does not influence the stabilization of the β phase and it does not modify the density, thus the total porosity of the resulting material. With respect to the influence of the alloying elements on the elastic modulus (E) of the alloys, the E of the Ti34Nb (76.8 GPa) increases with the Cu addition (92.6 GPa) and decreases with the Ag one (68.9 GPa). Therefore, silver addition, which does not modify the microstructure and slightly decrease the mechanical properties of the Ti34Nb, can be considered a good alloying element to provide antibacterial features to the titanium alloy without losing performance.

ABSTRACTThe mechanical alloying behavior of elemental powders in the Nb-Si, Ta-Si, and Nb-Ta-Si systems was examined via X-ray diffraction. The line compounds NbSi2 and TaSi2 form as crystalline compounds rather than amorphous products, but Nb5Si3 and Ta5Si3, although chemically analogous, respond very differently to mechanical milling. The Ta5Si3 composition goes directly from elemental powders to an amorphous product, whereas Nb5Si3 forms as a crystalline compound. The Nb5Si3 compound consists of both the tetragonal room-temperature α phase (c/a = 1.8) and the tetragonal high-temperature β phase (c/a = 0.5). Substituting increasing amounts of Ta for Nb in Nb5Si3 initially stabilizes the α-Nb5Si3 structure preferentially, and subsequently inhibits the formation of a crystalline compound.

Sodium super ionic conductor (NASICON)-type Na3Zr2Si2PO12 (NZSP) with the advantages of the high ionic conductivity, stability and safety is one of the most famous solid-state electrolytes. NZSP, however, requires the high sintering temperature about 1200 °C and long sintering time in the conventional solid-state reaction (SSR) method. In this study, the liquid-phase sintering (LPS) method was applied to synthesize NZSP with the use of NaPO3 glass with a low glass transition temperature of 292 °C. The formation of NZSP was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analyses in the samples obtained by the LPS method for the mixture of Na2ZrSi2O7, ZrO2, and NaPO3 glass. The sample sintered at 1000 °C for 10 h exhibited a higher Na+ ion conductivity of 1.81 mS/cm at 100 °C and a lower activation energy of 0.18 eV compared with the samples prepared by the SSR method. It is proposed that a new LPE method is effective for the synthesis of NZSP and the NaPO3 glass has a great contribution to the Na+ diffusion at the grain boundaries.

Sintered Temperature

This present work investigates the effects of sintering temperature on densification, mechanical properties and microstructure of Al-based alloy pressed by high-velocity compaction. The green samples were heated under the flow of high pure (99.99 wt%) N2. The heating rate was 4 °C/min before 315 °C. For reducing the residual stress, the samples were isothermally held for one h. Then, the specimens were respectively heated at the rate of 10 °C/min to the temperature between 540 °C and 700 °C, held for one h, and then furnace-cooled to the room temperature. Results indicate that when the sintered temperature was 640 °C, both the sintered density and mechanical properties was optimum. Differential Scanning Calorimetry, X-ray diffraction of sintered samples, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, and Transmission Electron Microscope were used to analyse the microstructure and phases.

Al2O3-TiC-ZrO2ceramic composites (ATZ) were fabricated by hot-pressed sintering. The phases and microstructure of the composites were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The relative density and mechanical properties (flexural strength, fracture toughness and Vicker’s hardness) of the composites were tested. The results show that the microstructure of the composites was the gray core-white rim. With the increase of sintering temperature, the relative density and mechanical properties of the composites increased first and then decreased. The composite sintered at 1705°C has the highest synthetical properties, and its relative density, flexural strength, fracture toughness and Vickers hardness are 98.3%,970MPa,6.0 MPa•m1/2and 20.5GPa, respectively.

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.
