Role of Ag addition on microstructure,mechanical properties,corrosion behavior and biocompatibility of porous Ti-30 at%Ta shape memory alloys

银对多孔Ti-30 at%Ta形状记忆合金的微观结构、力学性能、腐蚀行为和生物相容性的影响

In the present study,the thermal,mechanical,and biological properties of xAg/Ti-30Ta(x=0,0.41,0.82 and 2.48 at%)shape memory alloys(SMAs)were investigated.The study was conducted using optical and scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffractometry(XRD),compression test,and shape memory testing.The xAg/Ti-Ta was made using a powder metallurgy technique and microwave-sintering process.The results revealed that the addition of Ag has a significant effect on the pore size and shape,whereas the smallest pore size of 11μm was found with the addition of 0.41 at%along with a relative density of 72%.The fracture stress and strain increased with the addition of Ag,reaching the minimum values around 0.41 at%Ag.Therefore,this composition showed the maximum stress and strain at fracture region.Moreover,0.82 Ag/Ti-Ta shows more excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility than other percentages,obtaining almost the same behaviour of the pure Ti and Ti-6Al-4V alloys,which can be recommended for their promising and potential response for biomaterial applications.

本文采用粉末冶金技术和微波烧结工艺制备了xAg/Ti-Ta。采用光学和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线衍射仪(XRD)、压缩试验和形状记忆试验研究了xAg/Ti-30Ta(x=0,0.41 at%,0.82 at%和2.48 at%)形状记忆合金(SMAs)的热力学、力学和生物性能。结果表明,Ag的加入对颗粒的孔径和形状有显著影响,在Ag加入量为0.41 at%时,颗粒的最小孔径为11μm,相对密度为72%。断裂应力和应变随着Ag的增加而增加,Ag加入量为0.41 at%的合金断裂应力应变达到最大。0.82 at%Ag/Ti-Ta表现出更好的耐蚀性和生物相容性,具有与纯Ti和Ti6Al4V合金类似的性能,具备作为生物材料的应用前景。
