Studies and Research on Treatment of Titanium Alloys

Abstract

Titanium and its alloys have an extended use due to special properties. The paper highlights the TiZr alloy intended to manufacture prostheses, the influence of plastic deformation on the properties and structure. Applied research and technology have shown good deformation behavior of the alloy, good plasticity and a reduced hardening trend. The plastic deformation provides a fine structure and a 50% increase in hardness and strength properties.
