✦ Synopsis
In this study, we investigated the effect of Ta content on the mechanical properties of Ti -30Nb -XTa -5Zr fabricated by a powder metallurgy method, for biomedical applications. The Ta content ranged from 0% to 20 mass%.
The microstructures of Ti -30Nb -XTa -5Zr that contain less than 5 mass% Ta comprise h phase and an N phase. The tensile properties of Ti -30Nb -XTa -5Zr change with a change in their deformation mechanisms. The deformation mechanisms of Ti -30Nb -XTa -5Zr, which contains less than 10 mass% Ta, is the stress-induced martensite (SIM) transformation, while that of Ti -30Nb -XTa -5Zr, which contains over 20 mass% Ta, is the slip mechanism. The minimum elastic modulus is obtained in Ti -30Nb -10Ta -5Zr, which comprises a single h phase.
