- Abstract
- Biomedical implant material simultaneously requires high yield strength and low Youngs modulus. The lower boundary for the YM of Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloys is regarded to be approximately 65 GPa, which limits further improvement in their mechanical compatibility. This study proposes a novel process of cold caliber rolling to break this limit and decrease YM to 47 GPa, which is the bare minimum value since the development of this alloying system. As a result, the developed alloy exhibits a mechanical compatibility similar to those of most advanced beta-Ti alloys but with a significantly lower amount of high-cost alloying elements. This study attributed the mechanical improvement to three mechanisms based on microstructural characterizations. Manufacturing advantages of the suggested method were discussed as well.
