Abstract

The effect of high-pressure torsion (HPT) processing on mechanical properties in a β Ti-42Nb alloy micrometric powder consolidated in a nanostructured bulk disc through severe plastic deformation for biomedical applications is investigated. XRD, SEM and TEM/ASTAR characterization are used to characterize microstructure of the original micrometric powder and the consolidated disc of β Ti-42Nb alloy after HPT. The results show that severe plastic deformation processing improves Vickers hardness of β Ti-42Nb alloy, and leads to a low modulus bulk material with E = 63 GPa after HPT, comparable with that of as-cast alloy. The obtaining of nanostructured grain size around 55 nm bulk β Ti-42Nb alloy consolidated through HPT from micrometric atomized powder opens perspectives of applications as biomedical implants.
