Microstructural Characterization of the TiMoZrTa Alloy

Abstract

In recent years, different types of titanium alloys have been investigated with the aim of using materials in biomaterials field, and Ti-Mo system alloys are very promising materials. Alloying titanium with biocompatible elements like Mo, Zr and Ta make then possible for these alloys to be used in medical applications. Microstructures of two TiMoZrTa alloys were investigated. Obtaining of this original recipes alloys was prepared using vacuum arc re-melting method afterwards composition of this alloys were verified by quantitative qualitative analysis EDX. Aim of this study is investigating aspects of microstructures TiMoZrTa alloys using optical and scanning electron microscopes, verifying the type of grains, that will show us the most important properties.
