Phase and microstructural analysis were performed by X-ray diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction. Tensile properties were also examined. A small amount of secondary martensitic a” and ath nano particles were precipitated in the ß matrix of both alloys, due to to the inhomogeneous distribution of Mo and/ or Nb caused by segregation, which formed local regions with high- and low-stability of the ß phase. The elastic modulus was significantly reduced to 56.9 ± 3.08 GPa, while the elastic admissible strain was substantially improved. The increased ß stability and suppression of the ath phase led to no significant change in both the yield and ultimate tensile strengths, and the brittle fracture behavior. The alloy can be a potential alternative of the conventional orthopedic implant materials in orthopedic applications.AbstractenAlloy designß stabilityMetastable ß-type Ti alloysSegregationArticleRaganya, M.
