Fabrication of Ti–Nb–Ag alloy via powder metallurgy for biomedical applications
Highlights The Ti–26Nb–5Ag alloy sintered by SPS showed a dense structure without any pores. Nanostructure Ag was distributed in the Ti–26Nb–5Ag alloy sintered by SPS. The SPS sample displayed higher strength than that of traditional sintered sample.
Abstract Ti and some of its alloys are widely used as orthopedic implants. In the present study, Ti–26Nb–5Ag alloys were prepared by mechanical alloying followed by vacuum furnace sintering or spark plasma sintering (SPS). The microstructure and mechanical properties of the Ti–Nb–Ag alloys were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), compressive and micro-hardness tests. The effect of different sintering methods on the microstructure and properties of Ti–Nb–Ag alloy was discussed. The results showed that the titanium alloy sintered by vacuum furnace exhibited a microstructure consisting of α, β and a small amount of α″ martensite phase; whilst the SPS sintered alloy exhibited a microstructure consisting of α, β and a small amount of α″ martensite phase, as well as a nanostructured Ag homogeneously distributed at the boundaries of the β phases. The Ti–Nb–Ag alloy sintered by SPS possessed fracture strength nearly 3 times of the alloy sintered by vacuum furnace.
