Ti-(15-25)Nb-5Ta Alloy Plate Hardness Research for Medical Applications

Abstract

Abstract This work is devoted to the study of the hardness of various compositions of TiNbTa alloys for medical applications in the hip joints. This TiNbTa alloy system has a shape memory effect and superelasticity. The paper describes the technology for producing plates 1 mm thick of TiNbTa alloys. Carrying out thermal and mechanical treatments of these alloys. The effect of Nb doping on the structure and hardness of TiNbTa alloys is shown.</jats:p
