Fatigue performance evaluation of a Nickel-free titanium-based alloy for biomedical application - Effect of thermomechanical treatments

摘要

In the present work, structural fatigue experiments were performed on a Ti-26Nb alloy subjected to different thermomechanical treatments: a severe cold rolling, a solution treatment and two aging treatments at low temperature conducted after cold rolling in order to optimize the kinetics of precipitation. The aim is to investigate the effect of microstructural refinement obtained by these processes on fatigue performances.
