Tribological Behaviour of Orthopaedic Ti-13Nb-13Zr and Ti-6Al-4V Alloys

Abstract: The aim of this study is to compare the tribological behaviour of novel orthopaedic implant alloy Ti-13Nb-13Zr with that of the standard Ti-6Al-4V ELI alloy, available in four different microstructural conditions produced by variations in the heat treatments. The friction and wear tests were performed by using a block-on-disc tribometer in Ringer's solution at ambient temperature with a normal load of 20-60 N and sliding speed of 0.26-1.0 m/ s. It was found that variations in microstructures produced significa… Show more

“…If the presence of β-Ti increases, the wear resistant increases. Similar conclusions were reached by the authors of [12], who studied the influence of diverse heat treatments on the microstructural and tribological characteristics of Ti6Al4V ELI. No significant differences between the wear morphologies of the Ti6Al4V block surfaces were observed.…”

For this theory of delamination, successive discussion and implementation by numerous authors [19,20] supposed that a critical plastic strain is given by the materials ductility, i.e. it is governed by the α/β grain boundaries *21+.…”
