Project-Fabrication of Ti-Mo-W Alloys by Pressureless Sintering Method

The document discusses the fabrication of Ti-Mo-W alloys using pressureless sintering. Titanium and titanium alloys are useful for biomedical applications due to properties like low elastic modulus and biocompatibility. Adding molybdenum decreases the elastic modulus of titanium alloys while maintaining strength and biocompatibility. Pressureless sintering in a controlled atmosphere can densify titanium powders to near full density, allowing fabrication of titanium alloys with properties suitable for biomedical implants.

PROJECT- FABRICATION OF Ti-Mo-W ALLOYS BY PRESSURELESS SINTERING METHOD

Introduction

Titanium and Titanium based alloys possess properties like super-plasticity, shape memory effect, low
modulus of elasticity, bio-corrosion resistant and remarkable biocompatibility. Commercially pure
Titanium alloys has wide range of applications in aerospace due to it beneficial mechanical properties
and because of the above mentioned factors , they are used in orthopedic and dental implant materials;
but mismatch in the values of the Young Modulus between Titanium transplant and bone is unfavorable
for bone healing. The charge/size ratio of 4.24 is an pre-requisite for design of Ti- alloys with low
Modulus of Elasticity, which is required for bone resorption. Although Ti alloys can cause genetic
variations in connective tissue , ti implants are easily accepted and are physically well integrated into
bone issues.

On fusing Titanium with Molybdenum, the alloy so produced has low modulus of elasticity(decreases
upto 7% Mo) and high strength and are good biocompatible so thus find use in biomaterials , as osteo-
integrated implants. Such β-ti alloys can support multiple deformations ,which are reversible and
irreversible in nature,depending upon the stability of the β phase. With the addition of Tungsten to the
binary alloy ,accomplished by melting in Vaccum Arc furnace in Copper crucible cooled with water ,
homogenous structure was formed and phase stability of alloy Ti-15 Mo increased .

Pressureless sintering is sintering in vaccum or in controlled gas atmosphere under atmospheric


pressure. Low Oxygen, low nitrogen, good vaccum, high purity Argon or a purposely designed lw Oxygen
medium like OXYNON furnace, lead to a control interstitials contamination and ensure adequate Tensile
density of Ti and Ti-alloys. Also there must be avoidance of carbon contamination(i.e Carbon solubiliy
should be less than 100 ppm), this allows easy formation of grain-boundary precipitates of Titanium
carbides which may cause decrease in ductility and and brittleness.

Powder Metallurgy employs press-and-sinter approach which is applicable to all types of metal powders.
In Powder Metallurgy , it is important to sinter a green compact to its pore free size or near pore-free
density for areas of applications requiring good dynamic properties( pore size should be nearly
maximum upto 10µm for good fatigue properties ) ,therefore sintering is focused on densification. For
commercially pure Ti –alloys ,the process is very challenging for alloys that contain no slow diffusers, but
densification through sintering is achieved in relation to self-diffusion of Ti.
