Using the methods of electric arc melting, intermediate heat treatments, and consecutive intensive plastic deformation, a Ti–Nb–Zr alloy wire with a diameter of 1200 μm was obtained with a homogeneous chemical and phase (β-Ti body-centered crystal lattice) composition corresponding to the presence of superelasticity and shape memory effect, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. Perhaps the wire structure is represented by grains with a nanoscale diameter. For the wire obtained after stabilizing annealing, the proof strength Rp0.2 is 635 MPa, tensile strength is 840 MPa and Young’s modulus is 22 GPa, relative elongation is 6.76%. No toxicity was detected. The resulting wire is considered to be promising for medical use.

The effect of heat treatment on the static mechanical properties of a Ti-20Nb-10Ta shape memory alloy in the form of thin wire is studied. After annealing at 600 °C for 20 minutes, a low modulus of elasticity was obtained. The best strength and ductility indicators were obtained after annealing at a temperature of 800 °C during 60 minutes.
