Abstract

According to clinical requirements for medical titanium alloys and flaws existing in present medical titanium alloys, a new titanium alloy has been designed and prepared. Zr, Nb, Ta were selected for composing elements of the titanium alloy. Titanium alloy' s nominal composition is Ti-12. 5Zr-2. 5Nb-2. 5Ta. Micrographs and mechanical properties of the new titanium alloy were analyzed and tested, the result shows that mechanical properties can meet design requirements.
