Microstructure and mechanical properties of
TC21 titanium alloy after heat treatment
ریزساختار و خواص مکانیکی آلیاژ تیتانیوم TC21 پس از عملیات حرارتی
ABSTRACT
Microstructure evolutions during different heat treatments and influence of microstructure on mechanical properties of TC21 titanium alloy were investigated. The results indicate that the excellent mechanical properties can be obtained by adopting air cooling after forging followed by heat treatment of (900 °C, 1 h, AC)+(590 °C, 4 h, AC). Deformation in single β field produces pan-like prior β grains, while annealing in single β field produces equiaxed prior β grains. Cooling rate after forging or annealing in single β field and the subsequent annealing on the top of α+β field determine the content and morphology of coarse α plates. During aging or the third annealing, fine secondary α plates precipitate. Both ultimate strength and yield strength decrease with the content increase of coarse α plates. Decreasing effective slip length and high crack propagation resistance increase the plasticity. The crisscross coarse α plates with large thickness are helpful to enhance the fracture toughness.

ABSTRACT
Anodizing could be used for bio-functionalization of the surfaces of titanium alloys. In this study, we use anodizing for creating nanotubes on the surface of porous titanium alloy bone substitutes manufactured using selective laser melting. Different sets of anodizing parameters (voltage: 10 or 20 V anodizing time: 30 min to 3 h) are used for anodizing porous titanium structures that were later heat treated at 500o C. The nanotopographical features are examined using electron microscopy while the bioactivity of anodized surfaces is measured using immersion tests in the simulated body fluid (SBF).
