Overview

This research investigates the effects of processing techniques on mechanical properties in β titanium alloys, suggesting potential for improved biomedical applications.

Key Points

  • The study aims to explore how different processing techniques affect the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of β-Ti alloys.
  • Synthesize β-Ti–33Nb–33Zr alloy through arc melting.
  • Subject the alloy to hot rolling and Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) at varying temperatures.
  • Perform microstructural analyses using OM, SEM, TEM, EBSD, and ASTAR.
  • Rolling promoted dynamic recrystallization, enhancing microstructure.
  • After ECAP, grain refinement was noted, especially after two passes.
  • The elastic modulus remained stable around 80 GPa, lower than conventional Ti alloys.
