Resumo

O principal objetivo deste trabalho foi obter ligas Ti-β, isentas de elementos considerados tóxicos (Al e V), com módulo de elasticidade menor para melhorar a compatibilidade mecânica com o osso humano (17-35 GPa) [1,2]. As ligas Ti-35Nb-7Zr e Ti-41,1Nb-7,1Zr foram produzidas em forno a arco sob atmosfera de argônio. Os lingotes obtidos, com diâmetro inicial de 18 mm, foram submetidos a tratamento térmico de solubilização, forjamento a frio e tratamento de recristalização até o diâmetro final de 6 mm. Para caracterizar a microestrutura das ligas utilizou-se técnicas de microscopia óptica, difração de raios-X e dureza. A caracterização mecânica foi feita por meio de ensaios de tração uniaxial. Os resultados mostram que as propriedades variam consideravelmente em função das composições estudadas. Os resultados das análises microestruturais indicam que as ligas são do tipo Ti-β. A liga Ti-35Nb-7Zr na condição solubilizada, possui menor dureza (157 HV). Os valores da dureza das ligas com 35 Nb e 41,1 Nb, na condição recristalizada, foram próximos 161 e 169HV, respectivamente. A liga Ti-35Nb-7Zr apresentou o menor módulo de elasticidade (54GPa) e maior ductilidade, considerando-se os valores de redução em área e alongamento percentual, sem comprometer o limite de resistência.

Abstract

The aim of this work was to achieve Ti-β alloys without considerable toxic elements (Al and V) with lower elastic moduli to improve the mechanical compatibility with the bone (17 GPa-35 GPa) [1,2]. Ti-35Nb-7Zr and Ti-41,1Nb-7,1Zr alloys were produced in fusion by arc melting under argon atmosphere. The ingots, with the initial diameter of 18 mm were submitted to solution heat treatment, cool rotary forging and recrystallization treatment until 6 mm of diameter. The microstructural analyses were performed using Optical Microscopy, X-ray diffraction and hardness. The mechanical characterization was evaluated through uniaxial tensile tests. The results showed that properties are dependent on the compositions studied. Microstructure results indicated that both alloys are Ti-β. Ti-35Nb-7Zr in β-solution treated condition posses the lowest value of hardness (157 HV). Vickers hardness values for alloys within 35Nb and 41,1Nb, in the recrystallization condition were very close 161 and 169 HV, respectively. The Ti-35Nb-7Zr alloy presented the lowest elastic modulus (54 GPa) and the highest ductility, based on reduction of area and elongation without change tensile strength.
