Abstract—The methods of scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and microindentation are used to study the effect of alloying with zirconium (within 3 to 6 at %) and complex Zr + Sn and Zr + Sn + Ta additions on the evolution of the structure, phase composition, and properties (effective modulus of elasticity, hardness, and wear-resistance parameters) of quenched biocompatible β-titanium (at %) Ti–26% Nb–3% Zr, Ti–26% Nb–5% Zr, Ti–26% Nb–6% Zr, Ti–26% Nb–3% Zr–1% Sn, and Ti–26% Nb–3% Zr–1% Sn–0.7Ta alloys during aging (at 400°C for 4, 16, and 64 h) after multipass cold rolling with a total degree of strain of 85%. As compared to the quenching, the cold rolling of the studied Ti–Nb–Zr alloys is shown to suppress the occurrence of the β → ω transformation in the course of aging and to favor the acceleration of the decomposition of β solid solution with the formation of nonequilibrium αl phase in the course of aging. The increase in the zirconium content from 3 to 6 at % in the cold-rolled ternary Ti–26% Nb – х% Zr alloys and introduction of complex Zr + Sn and Zr + Sn + Ta additions to the Ti–26% Nb alloy instead of only zirconium addition hinder the decomposition processes of the β phase during aging; this impacts the intensity of variations of the effective modulus of elasticity and microhardness. The aging of the cold-rolled alloys under study was found to allows us to obtain the higher values of the parameters H/Er and \({{{{H}^{3}}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{{{H}^{3}}} {E_{{\text{r}}}^{2}}}} \right. \kern-0em} {E_{{\text{r}}}^{2}}}\) (Н is the hardness and Er is the resolved modulus of elasticity) associated with the wear resistance as compared to those for the widely used medical Ti–6Al–4V alloy. The compositions of the alloys and conditions of their treatment are determined, which allow us to obtain the combination of the highest-level properties.
期刊介绍:
The Physics of Metals and Metallography (Fizika metallov i metallovedenie) was founded in 1955 by the USSR Academy of Sciences. Its scientific profile involves the theory of metals and metal alloys, their electrical and magnetic properties, as well as their structure, phase transformations, and principal mechanical properties. The journal also publishes scientific reviews and papers written by experts involved in fundamental, application, and technological studies. The annual volume of publications amounts to some 250 papers submitted from 100 leading national scientific institutions.
