    The influence of heat treatment and role of boron on sliding wear behaviour of ?-type Ti-35Nb-7.2Zr-5.7Ta alloy in dry condition and in simulated body fluids
    (2011) Majumdar P.; Singh S.B.; Chakraborty M.
    The wear behaviour of heat-treated Ti-35Nb-7.2Zr-5.7Ta (TNZT) and Ti-35Nb-7.2Zr-5.7Ta-0.5B (TNZTB) alloys (all compositions are in wt%) was investigated in dry condition and in simulated body fluids. It has been found that there is no straightforward relationship between the wear rate and the microstructure. The hardness has no appreciable effect on the wear behaviour of these alloys. The presence of boron in the TNZT alloy deteriorates its wear properties. The wear rate of TNZT and TNZTB alloys in various media increases in the following sequence: dry condition < Hank's solution < bovine serum. � 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

    The role of heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-13Zr-13Nb alloy for biomedical load bearing applications
    (2011) Majumdar P.; Singh S.B.; Chakraborty M.
    The suitability of heat treated Ti-13Zr-13Nb (TZN) alloy for biomedical load bearing applications has been investigated. Depending upon the heat treatment conditions, the microstructure of TZN alloy mainly consists of ?, ? or ?" martensite phases. In general, for all the deformation and solution treatment temperatures the variation of the hardness and tensile strength with cooling rate is similar. The elastic modulus of TZN alloy decreases with an increase in cooling rate from the solution treatment temperature. Relatively fine ?+? microstructure increases the hardness and tensile strength. The presence of martensite and/or retained ? in the microstructure decreases the hardness and elastic modulus and increases the ductility substantially whereas higher amount of ? phase in the matrix increases the elastic modulus. Decomposition of martensite and retained ? into ? phase during aging increases the hardness, elastic modulus and tensile strength and decreases the ductility. Among the samples studied, the aged TZN sample, which was deformed and solution treated at 800 �C followed by water quenching, is a promising candidate for the application as implant material. � 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
