Abstract
The effect of aging treatment on the microstructure, mechanical properties, wear resistance, biocorrosion behavior, antibacterial properties and cytocompatibility of Ti-5Cu-2Fe alloys was investigated in this paper to reveal the potential application as a biomedical implant. The results showed that the aging at 773 K induced martensitic phase transformation with very fine martensitic laths and the presence of intertwined dislocation cells as well as the precipitation of Ti2Cu phase, which resulted high hardness, flexural strength, elastic modulus, and good wear resistance. The aging at higher temperature, 873 K, led to the formation of equiaxial α-phase and wider lamellar α-phase, and increase in the number and size of α-phase and Ti2Cu phases. As a result, the hardness, strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance were reduced but the plasticity was significantly improved. The aging treatment provided Ti-5Cu-2Fe alloy with strong antibacterial properties and a good cytocompatibility. It is suggested that the mechanical properties could be controlled by the aging treatment depending on the application requirement.
