The Young’s modulus of Ti-Cr-Sn-Zr alloy varies with the composition of Cr, Sn and Zr, in which the elements act as β stabilizers. Some Ti-Cr-Sn-Zr alloys show very low Young’s modulus under 50GPa. The amount of Zr in alloys with very low Young's modulus increases with the decrease of Cr. We investigated the Young’s modulus and deformation behavior of Ti-xCr-Sn-Zr (x=0~1mass%) alloys containing a large amount of Zr. The quenched microstructure of Ti-Cr-Sn-Zr alloys changes from martensitic structure to β single-phase structure if the amounts of β stabilized elements are increased. The Ti-Cr-Sn-Zr alloys with compositions close to the transitional composition of microstructure from martensite to β phase show minimum Young’s modulus. The clear microstructural transition disappears and the minimum Young’s modulus increases if the amount of Cr becomes too small. In Ti-Cr-Sn-Zr alloys containing a large amount of Zr, Young’s modulus depends on β phase that is intermingled with martensite.

Low modulus β Ti alloys are attractive for biomedical application. This work examines the mechanical properties of Ti-Cr-Sn-Zr system alloys, especially the effect of the varying alloy composition on the microstructure, the Young’s modulus and the deformation mechanism.The Young’s modulus of the alloy varies with the composition, which variation is caused mainly from the competition between the meta-stable β phase and ω phase.The deformation modes of the Ti-Cr-Sn-Zr alloy, which are the mechanical twinning, the deformation by slip and the deformation-induced transformation, also change depending on the composition of the alloy. The minimum of the Young’s modulusof the Ti-Cr-Sn-Zr alloy in this experiment was shown in the composition where the microstructure of the alloy changes from the martensitic structure to the meta-stable β structure.

This work investigates the mechanical properties of Ti-Cr-Sn-Zr alloys containing large amount of Zr. We focuses on the effect of the varying alloy composition on the microstructure, the Young’s modulus, the deformation mechanism and the deformation behavior. Ti-Cr-Sn-Zr alloys show much low Young’s modulus in the narrow composition range for Cr but wide for Zr. The Young’s modulus of Ti-2Cr-6Sn-xZr (x=5~60mass%) alloy decreases with increasing Zr and shows the minimum value of 41GPa in Ti-2Cr-6Sn-45Zr alloy. The alloys with low Young’s modulus consist in meta-stable β phase. The composition of the meta-stable β phase is close to the transition where the quenched microstructure transits from martensite to meta-stable β phase. Ti-2Cr-6Sn-45Zr alloy with lowest Young’s modulus show the super-elastic property.

Ti alloys have attracted continuing research attention as promising biomaterials due to their superior corrosion resistance and biocompatibility and excellent mechanical properties. Metastable β-type Ti alloys also provide several unique properties such as low Young’s modulus, shape memory effect, and superelasticity. Such unique properties are predominantly attributed to the phase stability and reversible martensitic transformation. In this study, the effects of the Nb and Zr contents on phase constitution, transformation temperature, deformation behavior, and Young’s modulus were investigated. Ti–Nb and Ti–Nb–Zr alloys over a wide composition range, i.e., Ti–(18–40)Nb, Ti–(15–40)Nb–4Zr, Ti–(16–40)Nb–8Zr, Ti–(15–40)Nb–12Zr, Ti–(12–17)Nb–18Zr, were fabricated and their properties were characterized. The phase boundary between the β phase and the α′′ martensite phase was clarified. The lower limit content of Nb to suppress the martensitic transformation and to obtain a single β phase at room temperature decreased with increasing Zr content. The Ti–25Nb, Ti–22Nb–4Zr, Ti–19Nb–8Zr, Ti–17Nb–12Zr and Ti–14Nb–18Zr alloys exhibit the lowest Young’s modulus among Ti–Nb–Zr alloys with Zr content of 0, 4, 8, 12, and 18 at.%, respectively. Particularly, the Ti–14Nb–18Zr alloy exhibits a very low Young’s modulus less than 40 GPa. Correlation among alloy composition, phase stability, and Young’s modulus was discussed.

AbstractFor decades the poor mechanical properties of Ti alloys were attributed to the intrinsic brittleness of the hexagonal ω-phase that has fewer than 5-independent slip systems. We contradict this conventional wisdom by coupling first-principles and cluster expansion calculations with experiments. We show that the elastic properties of the ω-phase can be systematically varied as a function of its composition to enhance both the ductility and strength of the Ti-alloy. Studies with five prototypical β-stabilizer solutes (Nb, Ta, V, Mo, and W) show that increasing β-stabilizer concentration destabilizes the ω-phase, in agreement with experiments. The Young’s modulus of ω-phase also decreased at larger concentration of β-stabilizers. Within the region of ω-phase stability, addition of Nb, Ta, and V (Group-V elements) decreased Young’s modulus more steeply compared to Mo and W (Group-VI elements) additions. The higher values of Young’s modulus of Ti–W and Ti–Mo binaries is related to the stronger stabilization of ω-phase due to the higher number of valence electrons. Density of states (DOS) calculations also revealed a stronger covalent bonding in the ω-phase compared to a metallic bonding in β-phase, and indicate that alloying is a promising route to enhance the ω-phase’s ductility. Overall, the mechanical properties of ω-phase predicted by our calculations agree well with the available experiments. Importantly, our study reveals that ω precipitates are not intrinsically embrittling and detrimental, and that we can create Ti-alloys with both good ductility and strength by tailoring ω precipitates' composition instead of completely eliminating them.

In this paper, binary β type Ti-23 at.% Mo alloys were obtained by arc melting as well as by mechanical alloying and powder metallurgical process with cold powder compaction and sintering or, interchangeably, hot pressing. The influence of the synthesis method on the microstructure and properties of bulk alloys were studied. The produced materials were characterized by an X-ray diffraction technique, scanning electron microscopy and chemical composition determination. Young’s modulus was evaluated with nanoindentation testing method based on the Oliver and Pharr approach. The mechanically alloyed Ti-23 at.% Mo powders, after inductively hot-pressed at 800 °C for 5 min, allowed the formation of single Ti(β) phase alloy. In this case, Young’s modulus and Vickers hardness were 127 GPa and 454 HV0.3, respectively. Among the examined materials, the porous (55%) single-phase scaffold showed the lowest indentation modulus (69.5 GPa). Analytical approach performed in this work focuses also on the surface properties. The estimation includes the corrosion resistance analyzed in the potentiodynamic test, and also some wettability properties as a contact angle, and surface free energy values measured in glycerol and diiodomethane testing fluids. Additionally, surface modification of processed material by micro-arc oxidation and electrophoretic deposition on the chosen samples was investigated. Proposed procedures led to the formation of apatite and fluorapatite layers, which influence both the corrosion resistance and surface wetting properties in comparison to unmodified samples. The realized research shows that a single-phase ultrafine-grained Ti-23 at.% Mo alloy for medical implant applications can be synthesized at a temperature lower than the transition point by the application of hot pressing of mechanically alloyed powders. The material processing, that includes starting powder preparation, bulk alloy transformation, and additional surface treatment functionalization, affect final properties by the obtained phase composition and internal structure.

A novel transparent polycrystalline silicon nitride was fabricated by hot-press sintering with MgO and AlN as additives. The mixed powder with 3 wt.% MgO and 9 wt.% AlN was sintered at 1900oC for 1 hour under 30 MPa pressure in a nitrogen gas atmosphere. Transparent polycrystalline silicon nitride was successfully fabricated. The mechanical properties such as density, hardness, young’s modulus, fracture strength and fracture toughness were evaluated. The effect of α/β phase on the mechanical properties of transparent polycrystalline silicon nitride was investigated. The properties were changed depending on the amount of α/β phase. The hardness and Young's modulus increased with increasing the volume fraction of α-phase fraction as a reflection of the higher hardness of α-phase Si3N4. The fracture toughness and fracture strength decreased with decreasing the volume fraction of β-phase Si3N4.

The influence of complex thermo-mechanical processing (TMP) on the mechanical properties of a Ti-Nb-Zr-Fe-O bio-alloy was investigated in this study. The proposed TMP program involves a schema featuring a series of severe plastic deformation (SPD) and solution treatment (STs). The purpose of this study was to find the proper parameter combination for the applied TMP and thus enhance the mechanical strength and diminish the Young’s modulus. The proposed chemical composition of the studied β-type Ti-alloy was conceived from already-appreciated Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr alloys with high β-stability by replacing the expensive Ta with more accessible Fe and O. These chemical additions are expected to better enhance β-stability and thus avoid the generation of ω, α’, and α” during complex TMP, as well as allow for the processing of a single bcc β-phase with significant grain diminution, increased mechanical strength, and a low elasticity value/Young’s modulus. The proposed TMP program considers two research directions of TMP experiments. For comparisons using structural and mechanical perspectives, the two categories of the experimental samples were analyzed using SEM microscopy and a series of tensile tests. The comparison also included some already published results for similar alloys. The analysis revealed the advantages and disadvantages for all compared categories, with the conclusions highlighting that the studied alloys are suitable for expanding the database of possible β-Ti bio-alloys that could be used depending on the specific requirements of different biomedical implant applications.

The development of new low-cost alloys composed of common elements that show high biocompatibility and mechanical properties matching with human bone is the target of many researches recently. Design and controlling the mechanical properties of newly developed set of Ti-xFe-3Zr-yNb (x=3-8 & y=2-3, at.%) low-cost alloys through applying different thermomechanical treatments is the aim of this work. Fe-content in the present designed alloys is changing in the range 3 to 8 at.%. The hardness and Young's modulus of the alloys were measured for the alloys in the solution treated, hot rolled and subsequent ageing at 400 °C and 550 °C. The phases separation and hence hardness of the aged alloys at 400 °C and 550 °C are highly dependent on the Fe-content in the alloy. The Young's modulus of the alloys is also changing with the Fe-content and heat treatment, where lowest modulus (~80GPa) is shown in the Ti-5Fe-3Zr-3Nb alloy in the solution treated condition.

Metastable beta Ti-Cr-Sn-Zr alloys used as biomaterial show low Young’s modulus and super-elasticity according to the phase stability of their beta phase. In this study, we substituted Nb and Fe for Cr in metastable beta Ti-2Cr-6Sn-45Zr alloy and investigated their effect. We investigated how the added amount of Cr, Nb and Fe influences the phase stability and the properties of low Young’s modulus and super-elasticity in Ti-x-Sn-Zr (x=Cr, Nb or Fe) alloys. The Young’s modulus of a Ti-x-Sn-Zr (x=Cr, Nb or Fe) alloy decreases with the addition of Cr, Nb or Fe. However, the Young’s modulus of a Ti-x-Sn-Zr (x=Cr, Nb or Fe) alloy increases with the addition of Cr, Nb or Fe after showing own minimum value respectively. Minimum Young’s modulus of several Ti-x-Sn-Zr (x=Cr, Nb or Fe) alloys were under 50GPa. The required amount of Cr, Nb or Fe in the Ti-x-Sn-Zr (x=Cr, Nb or Fe) alloy having minimum Young’s modulus is different according to the beta stabilizing ability of each element. Fe amounts were the smallest and Nb amounts were the largest. Ti-x-Sn-Zr (x=Cr, Nb or Fe) alloy with minimum Young’s modulus shows a stress-induced martensitic transformation. However, only Ti-Cr-Sn-Zr alloys showed definite super-elasticity. The recovered strain by super-elasticity is small in Ti-Nb-Sn-Zr alloy. Ti-Fe-Sn-Zr alloy didn’t show super-elasticity or large elongation.

This work investigates the mechanical properties of Ti-Cr system alloys and focuses on the microstructure, the Young’s modulus, the deformation mechanism and the deformation behaviour observed in various alloy compositions. The addition of Al to the Ti-Cr system alloys greatly decreases the Young’s modulus. Addition of Al, Sn and Zr to various Ti-Cr alloys suppresses the athermal ω phase that forms during quenching from β field. A Ti-Cr system alloy with low Young’s modulus was obtained in suitable compositional combination of Cr, Zr and Sn or Al. The alloys with the composition where the quenched microstructure transits from martensite to meta-stable β phase show low Young’s modulus. In addition, the alloys show two-step yielding due to stress-induced transformation.
