Transmission electron microscopy and X ray diffraction analysis have been used to study the phase composition and structure of an IMP BAZALM (Zr-31Ti-18Nb (at %)) biocompatible medical alloy depending on the heat treatment conditions. An interrelation between the values of the electron concentra tion of phases normalized to the volume (e/a norm = e/a alloy (ν β /ν phase )) and the phase composition of the alloy has been found to exist. It has been established that the appearance of the α'' and ω phases in the structure of the alloy leads to an increase in the modulus of elasticity. The greatest increase in the modulus is observed under the conditions corresponding to the formation of the ω phase.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
