Effect of Mn and Zr Addition on Microstructure, Wear and Corrosion Behavior of Ti-6Al-4V Composite Biomaterials Produced by Powder Metallurgy
Abstract
In this study, composite biomaterials were produced by powder metallurgy (P/M) method. Ti-6Al-4V master alloy and different proportions of Mn and Zn have been added to this alloy. Dry wear test and electrochemical corrosion test in Hank fluid (Body fluid) were applied to the produced composite P/M materials. The addition of Mn in the produced materials was effective in improving the wear behavior of the Ti-6Al-4V composite material. In addition, the addition of Zr provided excellent corrosion resistance in Hank's solution. The superior properties of Ti-6Al-4V composite material with its microalloy approach are quite challenging for biomedical applications. The best wear resistance was achieved by adding 2%Mn to Ti-6Al-4V by weight. In addition, it was observed that the phases formed as a result of the addition of 2% Zr act as a barrier during corrosion.
