Abstract
The spark plasma sintering (SPS), subsequent cold rolling, and annealing were used to produce Ti-Cu alloys to improve mechanical properties and antibacterial rate against Staphylococcus aureus significantly. The tensile strength, elongation and antibacterial rate reached 683.4 MPa, 21.6% and 95%, respectively. The insights for the improvement have been attributed to the high-density in-situ Ti2Cu precipitates in refined grain structures in the Ti-Cu alloys after rolling and annealing.
