| Abstract Scope |
There has been a great deal of interest in Ti-6Al-4V alloys that have dominated implant applications for the last three decades. That said, in order to completely alleviate the “stress shielding effect” the Young’s modulus values of existing alloys still need to be further reduced to match the Young’s modulus values of human bone. One of the important reasons for higher Young’s modulus values in conventionally developed low-cost Ti-base alloys is the absence of the formation of desired crystallographic orientation (texture) during cold-rolling and/or following heat treatments. In this research, an advanced metallurgical alloy design and thermomechanical processing were explored to develop a novel beta titanium alloying system having exceptionally low Young’s modulus and high tensile strength. Experimental results revealed that it is attributed to the combined effect of low stability of the β phase, a small amount of the ω phase, and strong Goss texture evolution. |
