Highly ordered, vertically oriented Fe3+-doped TiO₂ nanotube arrays (Fe-TNTs) were prepared on Ti-Fe alloy substrates with different Fe contents by the electrochemical anodization method. The as-prepared Fe-TNTs were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and related electrochem...

Inco alloy MA956 (Fe-20wt%Cr-4.5%Al-0.35%Ti + 3~01% Y203-A1203) was oxidized in 1 atm of dry, flowing O2 at 1400 OC. Good scale-metal adhesion was observed. Some spalling occurred upon cooling, but it remained within the oxide, not through to the bare metal. Cyclic experiments showed good scale adherence. Y was found to segregate to the oxide grain boundaries and by implication to have modified...

In this study, Ti-5Al-2.5Fe alloy was prepared by powder metallurgy. The elemental titanium, aluminum, and iron powders were mechanically alloyed for 10 h in a vacuum atmosphere. A stainless steel jar and stainless steel balls were used for mechanical alloying. The alloyed powders were then sintered by vacuum hot pressing at 950 °C for a soaking time of 30 minutes. Pure titanium was also sinter...

In this work, Ti–23Nb–0.7Ta–2Zr (TNTZ) and gum metal Ti–23Nb–0.7Ta–2Zr–1.2O (TNTZ-O) alloys were synthesized by cold crucible levitation melting with the objective of investigating the influence of oxygen on the deformation mechanisms. By tensile tests, electron backscatter diffraction, atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy analyses, we showed that the deformation in the ...

Ti-based alloys containing Ag were produced by tilt-casting method and their properties were studied. Even in its as-cast state, Ti94Ag3Pd3 showed relatively high tensile properties, good electrochemical behavior, and good biocompatibility. The relatively good mechanical properties of the as-cast α-Ti-type Ti94Ag3Pd3 alloy (tensile strength up to 850 MPa and elongation of ~10%) can be explained...

The objective of this study was to compare corrosion behavior in several titanium alloys with immersion in acidulated saline solutions containing hydrogen peroxide. Seven types of titanium alloy were immersed in saline solutions with varying levels of pH and hydrogen peroxide content, and resulting differences in color and release of metallic elements determined in each alloy. Some alloys were ...

The effect of the ultrasonic surface rolling process (USRP) on the rotary bending fretting fatigue (FF) of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was investigated. The reason for the USRP's ability to improve the FF resistance of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was studied. The results revealed that the USRP induced a compressive residual stress field with a depth of 530 μm and a maximum residual stress of -930 MPa. Moreover, the su...

Corrosion resistance, wear resistance and biocompatibility of the studied Ti–Ta alloys with Ta contents of 10, 30 and 70 mass% together with the currently used metallic biomaterials pure titanium (Ti) and Ti–6Al–4V extra low interstitial (ELI) alloy were investigated for biomedical applications. Corrosion resistance was measured by an anodic polarization test using an automatic potentiostat in ...

Total knee replacement implants consisting of a Co-29Cr-6Mo alloy femoral component and a Ti-6Al-4V tibial component are the basis for the additive manufacturing of novel solid, mesh, and foam monoliths using electron beam melting (EBM). Ti-6Al-4V solid prototype microstructures were primarily α-phase acicular platelets while the mesh and foam structures were characterized by α(')-martensite wi...

As Ti rich Ti-Al alloy shows ductile nature with the α2 + γ lamellar structure [1], the mechanism of microstructural evolution in Ti-Al alloys has attracted much interest. Since the lamellar structure is formed by the continuous cooling in industrial processes, cooling rate dependence of α → γ and α → α2 + γ transformations has been extensively studied by many researchers [2-5]. Wang et al. [2,...
