Manufacturing, Structure Control, and Functional Testing of Ti–Nb-Based SMA for Medical Application

Abstract: This paper focuses on the development and characterization of Ni-free shape memory alloys, more specifically, Ti-Nb-based alloys for biomedical applications. It starts by describing the smelting technology used to produce small and medium size ingots of selected compositions. Thermomechanical treatments: structure interrelations are discussed next. Finally, the results of their mechanical, electrochemical, and in vitro cytotoxicity testing are presented to allow a general assessment of the mechanical, chemical… Show more

“…At this point niobium has completely stabilized the bcc phase as can be see by the lattice parameters where c = b = a √ 2. The shape-memory effect (SME) is known to exist in binary Ti-Nb alloys 87,88 , gum metals 3,6 and other tita- nium and Ti-Nb alloys 17,86,89 . The SME is characterized by a recovery of initial geometric shape after deformation at a low temperature and subsequent heating.…”

“…Niobium is commonly used as the major β-stabilizer in gum metals, and Ti-Nb alloys on their own show promise in biomedical [15][16][17] and orthodontic 18 applications, and are used as superconducting wires for electromagnets in MRI machines, synchrotrons and tokamaks. In the present work we develop a classical interatomic potential for Ti-Nb alloys with focus on properties of the gum metal approximant Ti 3 Nb.…”

“…During the past decades, SMAs have been extensively investigated in terms of fundamental mechanism and engineering applications, for instance the most commercial SMAs, NiTi alloys, show excellent SME and mechanical properties [3,4]. SMAs have been used in numerous fields, such as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) [5,6], medicine [7,8], automotive [9], and aerospace [10]. However, conventional SMAs can suffer from oxidation and instability, especially in nanoscale [11,12], e.g., Ti content in NiTi unavoidably leads to changes in surface and interfacial layers due to oxidation, thereby reducing transforming performance [13].…”

“…Nb also increase the resistance of Ti to oxidation and contributes to decrease of oxygen solubility and further oxygen diffusion into the alloy (Han et al, 2015). These properties make Ti-Nb alloys faithful and possible candidate biomedical materials for replacing frequently used commercial Ti6Al4V and TiNi alloys (Kim et al, 2006;Wang and Zheng 2009;McMahon et al, 2012;Kent et al, 2013;Andrade et al, 2015;Bönisch et al, 2015;Prokoshkin et al, 2016).…”

“…Ti-Nb alloys are generally produced by casting techniques (Hon et al, 2003;Ozaki et al, 2004;Kim et al, 2006;Chai et al, 2008;Chai et al, 2009;Ma et al, 2010;Cremasco et al, 2013;Han et al, 2015;Bönisch et al, 2015;Prokoshkin et al, 2016). Porosity, rough microstructure, and composition segregation are the main defects normally present by casting and greatly worsen the mechanical properties.…”
