Impact of Chemical Composition on Elastic Modulus of Ti-Zr-Nb Alloys

Keywords

biomedical alloys, powder metalurgy, elastic modulus

Abstract

Zr–Ti–Nb biomedical alloys with b.c.c. structure was produced by cold compaction and vacuum sintering of multicomponent powders. The influence of powder composition on microstructure and porosity was studied. Final porosity (6–9%) is linked to the Frenkel effect and depends on the blend composition.
