Improving superelasticity of a laser powder bed-fused Ti-Zr-Nb alloy via the ingot composition adjustments
This paper describes a successfully implemented method for controlling the chemical composition of Ti-Zr-Nb shape memory alloys for laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) printing of orthopedic implants. It is shown that to achieve the target Ti-18Zr-15Nb (at.%) composition in the printed product, the ingot composition must be adjusted by increasing the Ti content by 2.5 % while decreasing the Zr and Nb contents by 1 % and 1.5 %, respectively. These modifications compensate for compositional variations occurring during powder atomization and LPBF processing, and − following a post-fusion annealing at 550℃ for 30 min − result in a printed product with excellent room-temperature superelasticity: a superelastic recovery strain of 2.6 % and a total recovery strain of 6.1 %. The obtained mechanical properties of the material (an ultimate tensile strength of 725 MPa and Young’s modulus of 53GPa) make the LPBF-printed and annealed Ti-18Zr-15Nb alloy of this study a promising candidate for orthopedic implants.
