Fatigue behaviour of boron free and boron containing heat treated Ti-13Zr-13Nb alloy for biomedical applications

Journal Article · · Materials Characterization
Fatigue behaviour of heat treated Ti-13Zr-13Nb (TZN) and Ti-13Zr-13Nb-0.5B (TZNB) alloys for biomedical implants has been investigated by rotating bending test. It was found that fatigue strength of TZN and TZNB alloys is comparable with that of conventionally used biomedical titanium alloys. Addition of boron to TZN alloy deteriorates fatigue strength. - Research Highlights: {yields}The microstructure of the aged TZN consists of {alpha} phase in {beta} matrix. {yields}Addition of boron to TZN leads to the formation of dispersed acicular TiB. {yields}Presence of TiB deteriorates the fatigue strength of TZN alloy. {yields}Fatigue strength of aged TZN/TZNB alloys is comparable with biomedical Ti-alloys.
