Abstract:Our research novel Ti-22Nb biomedical alloys made by powder metallurgy and analyze the effect of adding silicon at various weight ratios to the base alloy (0.4, 0.8, and 1.2 %at Si). In this work, the wear characteristics of Ti-Nb-Si alloys in dry conditions are examined, as well as the wear process. To measure the wear rate, a pin-on-disc wear testing apparatus was employed. The optical microstructure analysis showed that the microstructure had a mixture-like appearance and included only a small quantity of a… Show more
