S0201-2-5 Microstructures and mechanical properties of Ti-x binary alloys for biomedical applications

Abstract

The ω phase significantly influences mechanical properties of titanium alloys. It has been reported that the ω phase can be introduced by deformation at room temperature in several β-type titanium alloys. In this study, in order to exploit a new Ti alloy with changeable Young's modulus for biomedical applications, the effects of deformation-induced phases on the mechanical properties of Ti-x binary alloys were investigated. The alloys researched in this study exhibit low Young' moduli after solution treatment. Further, the Young's moduli of them increase by cold rolling.
