Abstract:The low modulus β-type Ti alloys usually have peculiar deformation behaviors due to their low phase stability. However, the study of the underlying mechanisms is challenging since some physical mechanisms are fully reversible after the release of the load. In this paper, the deformation behavior of a low modulus β-type Ti36Nb5Zr alloy was investigated with the aid of in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction (SXRD) during tensile loading. The evolution of lattice strains and relative integrated diffraction peak in… Show more
“…There have been many efforts to fabricate Ti alloys with a low elastic modulus to reduce stress-shielding effects that deteriorate the bone healing. Meng et al investigated the deformation behavior of a Ti36Nb5Zr alloy with a β phase using in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction (SXRD) [8]. They proved deformation mechanisms of β-type Ti alloys including elastic and plastic deformations.…”
