Author:Madigoe, Mandy N; Modiba, Rosinah; Lesley, Cornish, LDate:Nov 2022The aim of this study was to produce a titanium-based alloy with mainly ß-phase and reduced Young’s modulus for biomedical applications. Alloys Ti-Nbx-Ta5-Zr5 (x = 20, 30, 40 at.%Nb) were prepared by arc melting then solution annealed at 950 ...Read more
Author:Madigoe, Mandy N; Modiba, Rosinah; Cornish, LADate:Dec 2021High alloyed ß-phase stabilised titanium alloys are known to have low elastic moduli comparable to that of the human bone (˜30 GPa). The ß-phase in titanium alloys exhibits an elastic modulus of about 60-80 GPa, which is nearly half that of ...Read more
