This study investigates the effect of adding an element to commercially pure titanium, particularly-stabilizing element.-stabilizers as alloying element for titanium are proven to exhibit suitable mechanical properties for biomedical applications such as orthopedic implants. The main objective of this research is to observe the effect of adding a selected alloying element, niobium (Nb) to pure titanium in terms of microstructure changes and the mechanical properties. There has been an ongoing research for Ti-Nb alloy with regards to it as a potential biomedical alloy. The adaptation of existing titanium alloy from aerospace application, Ti-6Al-4V has imposed neural disorders and adverse tissue effects due to cytotoxicity of aluminium (Al) and vanadium (V). The other concern is to find the solution to reduce the elastic modulus of existing titanium alloy. Several efforts have been done to sort these issues and Ti-Nb based materials have shown positivity in their passivity and low elastic modulus. Since then, the mechanical properties of binary Ti-Nb alloys have been investigated. In this project, pure titanium and three different composition of Ti-Nb samples are prepared (pure Ti, Ti-10Nb, Ti-20Nb and Ti-30Nb). These samples are manufactured via the concept of powder metallurgy, which involved mechanical die pressing and vacuum sintering. For microstructural investigations, the samples were taken for further surface finishing process, which includes cutting, mounting, grinding, polishing and etching. The microstructure of the samples are examined with optical microscope. In order to study their mechanical properties, series of compression tests and Vickers hardness tests were conducted. From the results, the samples have shown an evolution of alpha () and beta () phase where the concentration of phase increases with increasing Nb content. The compression tests have shown that the elastic modulus increases at 10% content Nb compared to pure titanium, followed by drastic decrease at Ti-20Nb and a slight increase at Ti-30Nb. Other mechanical properties are also examined such as the 0.2% offset yield stress, ultimate compressive stress (UCS), ductility and the modulus of resilience. Out of the samples being tested and analyzed, Ti-20Nb has a potential to be introduced as a biomaterial for implants.
