Corrosion behavior of Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr-Fe alloy for biomedical applications in Ringer's solution

The corrosion resistance of Ti？25Nb？10Ta？1Zr？0.2Fe （mass fraction, %） （TNTZF） alloy in Ringer’s solution at 37 °C was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization measurement. Ti？6Al？4V ELI （Extra low interstitial） alloy was also investigated to make a comparison. The results show that TNTZF alloy has higher corrosion potential, lower corrosion current density, more stable passive current density and wider passive region compared with Ti–6Al–4V ELI alloy, which indicates that TNTZF alloy has better corrosion resistance. In addition, pitting corrosion is observed on the surface passive film of Ti–6Al–4V ELI alloy but is not found on that of TNTZF alloy. The XPS analysis results reveal that the passive film formed on TNTZF alloy is composed of Nb2O5, NbO2, Ta2O5, ZrO2, TiO and Ti2O3oxides in the matrix of TiO2, which makes the passive film more stable and protective than that formed on Ti？6Al？4V ELI alloy and contributes much to its superior corrosion resistance.

Effects of slurry pack cementation temperature on microstructure and wear resistance of Ti-Al co-deposited coating on copper plated nickel layer

In order to improve the wear resistance properties of copper substrate, a layer of electroplated nickel was firstly deposited on copper substrate, subsequently these electroplated specimens were treated by slurry pack cementation process with a slurry pack cementation mixture composed of TiO2 as titanizing source, pure Al powder as aluminzing source and also a reducer for titanizing, an activator of NH4Cl and albumen （egg white） as cohesive agent. The Ti-Al coating was fabricated on the surface of electro-deposited nickel layer on copper matrix followed by the slurry pack cementation process. The effects of slurry pack cementation temperature on the microstructures and wear resistance of Ti-Al coating were studied. The results show that the microstructure of the coating changed from NiAl＋Ni3（Ti,Al） to NiAl ＋Ni3（Ti,Al）＋Ni4Ti3 to Ni4Ti3＋NiAl, and to NiAl＋Ni3（Ti,Al）＋NiTi with slurry pack cementation temperature ranging from 800 ℃ to 950 ℃ in 12 h. The friction coefficient of Ti-Al coating decreased and the hardness increased with increasing the slurry pack cementation temperature. The minimum friction coefficient was 1/3 and the minimum hardness was 5 times larger than that of pure copper.

Microstructure and wear resistance of laser clad TiB-TiC/TiNi-Ti_2Ni intermetallic coating on titanium alloy

A wear resistant TiB-TiC reinforced TiNi-Ti2Ni intermetallic matrix composite coating（TiB-TiC/TiNi-Ti2Ni） was prepared on Ti-6.5Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V titanium alloy by the laser cladding process using Ti＋Ni＋B4C powder blends as the precursor materials.Microstructure and worn surface morphologies of the coating were characterized by optical microscopy（OM）,scan electron microscopy（SEM）,X-ray diffraction（XRD）,energy dispersive X-ray analysis（EDS） and atomic force microscopy（AFM）.Wear resistance of the coating was evaluated under dry sliding wear test condition at room temperature.The results indicate that the laser clad coating has a unique microstructure composed of flower-like TiB-TiC eutectic ceramics uniformly distributed in the TiNi-Ti2Ni dual-phase intermetallic matrix.The coating exhibits an excellent wear resistance because of combined action of hard TiB-TiC eutectic ceramic reinforcements and ductile TiNi-Ti2Ni dual-phase intermetallic matrix.

Tortuosity factor for porous FeAl intermetallics fabricated by reactive synthesis

The tortuosity factor is the most critical parameter for the pore characteristic of porous materials. The tortuosity factor for porous FeAl intermetallics was studied based on the Darcy law and Hagen-Poiseuille equation. Porous stainless steel with the same pore structure parameter as porous FeAl was fabricated by powder metallurgy method for comparison. The results show that the tortuosity factor of porous FeAl intermetallics is smaller than that of porous stainless steel when their pore structure parameters are the same. The average tortuosity factor is 2.26 for the porous FeAl material and 2.92 for the porous stainless steel, calculated by Hagen-Poiseuille equation. The reason of the different tortuosity factors for porous FeAl and porous stainless steel was also explored through studying the pore formation mechanisms of the two types of porous materials.

EFFECTS OF RARE EARTH ELEMENT LANTHANUM ON MICROSTRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF Ag-Cu-Ti SOLDER ALLOY

The effects of rare earth Lanthanum on the microstructure, the physical property and the microhardness of Ag-Cu-Ti solder alloy are studied. Experimental results indicate that the addition of Lanthanum can evidently improve the wettability and the microhardness of Ag-Cu-Ti solder alloy. Analysis results show that the increase in microhardness is related to the refining and uniform distribution of the intermetallic compounds. Proper content of Lanthanum added in Ag-Cu-Ti alloy solder can be controlled below 0.5% in mass percent.

WC-Ni_3Al-B composites prepared through Ni+Al elemental powder route

In order to develop the liquid phase sintering process of WC-Ni3Al-B composites,the preparation process of WC＋Ni3Al prealloyed powder by reaction synthesis of carbonyl Ni,analytical purity Al and coarse WC powders was investigated.DSC and XRD were adopted to study the procedure of phase transformation for the 3Ni＋Al and 70%WC＋（3Ni＋Al） mixed powders in temperature ranges of 550-1200 °C and 25-1400 °C,respectively.The results demonstrate that the formation mechanism of Ni3Al depends on the reaction temperature.Besides WC phase,there exist Ni2Al3,NiAl and Ni3Al intermetallics in the powder mixture after heat treatment at 200-660 °C,while only NiAl and Ni3Al exist at 660-1100 °C.Homogeneous WC＋Ni3Al powder mixture can be obtained in the temperature range of 1100-1200 °C.The WC-30%（Ni3Al-B） composites prepared from the mixed powders by conventional powder metallurgy technology show nearly full density and the shape of WC is round.WC-30%（Ni3Al-B） composites exhibit higher hardness of 9.7 GPa,inferior bending strength of 1800 MPa and similar fracture toughness of 18 MPa-m1/2 compared with commercial cemented carbides YGR45（WC-30%（Co-Ni-Cr））.

Interfacial characteristics and microstructural evolution of Sn-6.5Zn solder/Cu substrate joints during aging

The influence of isothermal aging at 150 °C on the microstructural characteristics and microhardness of the Sn-6.5Zn solder/Cu joint was studied. The mechanisms for the formation and evolution of intermetallic compound （IMC） at the interface of the Sn-6.5Zn/Cu joint were also analyzed. The results indicate that a continuous layer consisting of CuZn and Cu5Zn8 IMCs is formed in the interface zone. As the aging time prolongs, the thickness of the IMC layer first increases and then decreases, and the continuous and compactable layer is destroyed due to the decomposition of the Cu-Zn IMC layer. A discontinuous layer of Cu6Sn5 IMC is present within the Cu substrate near the decomposed region. The interface becomes rough and evident voids form after aging. The microhardness of the interface increases owing to the application of aging.

Theoretical prediction of effective elastic constants for new intermetallic compound porous material

Based on microstructure analysis of the new Ti-A1 intermetallic compound porous material, a micromechanics model of heterogeneous Plateau porous structure was established and calculation formulas of elastic constants （including effective elastic modulus, effective shear elastic modulus and effective Poisson ratio） were derived by the energy method for this porous material. Calculation results show that both the effective elastic modulus and effective shear elastic modulus increase with the increase of the relative density while the effective Poisson ratio decreases. Compared with the currently-existing hexagonal honeycomb model and micromechanics model of composite materials, the micromechanics model of heterogeneous Plateau porous structure in this study is more suitable for characterizing the medium-density porous material and more accurate for predicting the effective elastic constants of the medium-density porous material. Moreover, the obtained explicit expressions of the effective elastic constants in term of the relative density rather than the microstructural parameters for the uniform and regular Plateau porous structure are more convenient to engineering application.

Mechanism of anti-arterial thrombosis of Dahuangzhecong Fang screened by Ti-Al intermetallic compound porous material

The mechanism of antithrombotic of Dahuangzhechong Fang separated and purified by Ti-Al intermetallic compound porous material (TAICPM) was researched. Dahuangzhechong Fang, which was isolated and screened by TAICPM, was used to oral rats. At the end of study, their blood and thrombus were collected. The results show that TAICPM with the pore size of 1-5 μm can screen Dahuangzhechong Fang well. Dahuangzhechong Fang can increase 6-keto-PGF1α, lower content of TXD2 and platelet. Dahuangzhechong Fang has good effect to resist arterial thrombosis.

Multilayered Ti-Al intermetallic sheets fabricated by cold rolling and annealing of titanium and aluminum foils

Multilayered Ti-Al based intermetallic sheets were fabricated by sintering alternately layered titanium and aluminum foils.The microstructure and phase formation of the obtained sheets under different sintering conditions were evaluated by various techniques.The results reveal that when the sintering temperature is above the melting point of aluminum,the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis reaction occurs between Ti and Al,and forms various phases of Ti-based solid solutions including α-Ti Ti3Al,TiAl,TiAl2 and α-Ti including TiAl3,etc.When the sintering time increased,Ti-based solid solution,TiAl2 and TiAl3 disappeared gradually,and the sheet containing Ti3Al and TiAl phases in a multilayered structure formed finally.A lot of voids were also observed in the sintered structures,which were caused by the melting Al,Kirkendall effect and the difference of molar volumes between reactants and products.The voids were eliminated and a dense sample was obtained by the following hot press.

Corrosion resistance of Ti and Ti-Pd alloy in phosphate buffered saline solutions with and without H_2O_2 addition

Corrosion resistance of pure titanium（Grade 2） and Ti-Pd alloy（Grade 7） was studied using the electrochemical techniques of potentiodynamic measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS）.Measurements were performed at the temperature of 36.6 ℃ in two solutions：PBS solution with pH of 7.4 simulating conditions of healthy human body,and PBS solution with pH of 5.2 and with the addition of hydrogen peroxide（0.015 mol/L） simulating the inflammatory state.It is found that,Ti Grade 7 can be a good candidate as a material for orthopedic implant application,because its corrosion resistance in the PBS solution containing H2O2 is better（lower corrosion current densities） than that of pure titanium.

Solid-state bonding between Al and Cu by vacuum hot pressing

Diffusion bonding between aluminum and copper was performed by vacuum hot pressing at temperatures between 623 and 923 K through two thermal processes： hot compression under the deformation rate of 0.2 mrrdmin for 10 rain at pre-set temperatures, and additional pressing at 0.2 mm/min for 20 rain during furnace cooling. After analyzing interface, the feasible diffusion bonding temperature was suggested as 823 K. The three major intermetallic layers generated during diffusion bonding process were identified as AIECu, AlCu＋AlaCu4 and Al4Cu9. Furthermore, local hardness values ofAlECU, AlCu＋AlaCu4 and Al4Cu9 layers average at （4.97±0.05）, （6.33±0.00） and （6.06±0.18） GPa, respectively.

In vitro degradation and cytotoxicity of Mg-5Zn-0.3Ca/n HA biocomposites prepared by powder metallurgy

Mg-5Zn-0.3Ca/nHA biocomposites were prepared from pure Mg,Zn,Ca and nano-hydroxyapatite(nHA)powders by powder metallurgy method.The effect of various mass fractions of nHA(1%,2.5%,5%)as reinforcement on the corrosion properties of Mg-5Zn-0.3Ca alloy was investigated.The corrosion resistance of biocomposite samples was investigated by immersion tests and electrochemical techniques in SBF solution.The results showed that the corrosion resistance of Mg alloy was improved by adding 1%and 2.5%nHA.Bioactive nHA motivated the formation of stable phosphate and carbonate layers on surface and improved corrosion resistance of nanocomposites.However,addition of large contents of nHA in Mg alloy as reinforcement increased the density of this precipitated layer,so gases produced from localized corrosion were accumulated underneath this layer and decreased its adhesiveness and lowered its corrosion resistance.Indirect cytotoxicity evaluation for Mg alloy and its nanocomposites also showed that their extraction was not toxic and nanocomposite with 1%nHA indicated almost similar behavior as negative control.

Influence of Zirconia on Hydroxyapatite Coating on Ti-Alloy by Laser Cladding

Coating titanium alloy with the bioceramic material hydroxyapatite(HAP) has been used to improve the poor osteoinductive properties of pure titanium alloy. But in clinical applications, the mechanical failure of HAP-coated titanium alloy implant suffered at the interface of the HAP coatings and titanium alloy substrate will be a potential weakness in prosthesis. Yttria-stablized zirconia (YSZ) is expected to enhance the mechanical properties of the HAP coating and reduce the coefficient of thermal expansion difference between the coated layer and the substrate. These may reinforce the bonding strength between the coatings and the substrate. In this paper, HAP/YSZ composite coatings were cladded by laser. The effects of zirconia on the microstructure, mechanical properties and formation of tricalcium phosphate (TCP, Ca 3(PO 4) 2) of the HAP/YSZ composite coatings were evaluated. XRD, SEM and TEM were used to investigate the phase composition, microstructure and morphology of the coatings. The experimental results showed that adding YSZ in coatings was favorable to the composition and stability of HAP, and to the improvement of the adhesion strength, microhardness and microtoughness. A well uniform, crack-free coating of HAP/YSZ composites was formed on Ti-alloy substrate by laser cladding.

Fabrication of porous Fe Al-based intermetallics via thermal explosion

Porous FeAl-based intermetallics were fabricated by thermal explosion（TE） from Fe and Al powders. The effects of sintering temperature on phase constitution, pore structure and oxidation resistance of porous Fe-Al intermetallics were systematically investigated. Porous Fe-Al materials with high open porosity（65%） are synthesized via a low-energy consumption method of TE at a temperature of 636 ℃ and FeAl intermetallic is evolved as dominant phase in sintered materials at 1000 ℃. The porous materials are composed of interconnected skeleton, large pores among skeleton and small pores in the interior of skeleton. The interstitial pores in green powder compacts are the important source of large pores of porous Fe-Al intermetallics, and the in-situ pores from the melting and flowing of aluminum powders are also significant to the formation of large pores. Small pores are from the precipitation of Fe-Al intermetallics particles. In addition, the porous specimens exhibit high resistance to oxidation at 650 ℃ in air.

Property alterations of Sn-0.6Cu-0.05Ni-Ge lead-free solder by Ag, Bi, In and Sb addition

The Sn-Cu-Ni-Ge solder is a strong challenger to the Sn-Ag-Cu（SAC） solders as a replacement for the Sn-Pb eutectic solder. This research investigated the effects of addition of Ag, Bi, In, and Sb on the physical properties of the Sn-0.6 Cu-0.05 Ni-Ge（SCNG） lead-free solder and the interfacial reaction with the Cu substrate. The melting behavior, microstructure, tensile strength, and wettability of the SCNG-x（x=Ag, Bi, In, Sb） solders were examined. The findings revealed that the introduction of Ag, Bi, In, and Sb minimally altered the solidus temperature, liquidus temperature, and tensile strength of the solder. However, the cooling behavior and solidified microstructure of the solder were affected by the concentration of the alloying elements. The wettability of the SCNG solder was improved with the doping of the alloying elements except Sb. The thickness of intermetallic layer was increased by the addition of the alloying elements and was related to the cooling behavior of the solder. The morphology of intermetallic layer between the SCNG-x solders and the Cu substrate was different from that of the typical SAC solders. In conclusion, alloying the SCNG solder with Ag, Bi, In or Sb is able to improve particular properties of the solder.
