Researches Regarding the Usage of Titanium Alloys in Cranial Implants
2014
In the last few decades, the concept of flexible manufacturing has started to gain more and more attention, as an adaptation of production methods to the increasingly varied demands by customers. Therefore, new procedures have been introduced as alternatives to the classical ones, a very promising one being incremental forming [. A possible application for this new procedure, targeted by the authors of this paper, is the manufacturing of custom-shaped prosthetic parts for use in various areas of human medicine. Such prostheses can have a functional role, when they target the replacing of a functional component of the human body, or an esthetic role, when they target the solving of problems …
NaCl induced corrosion of Ti-6Al-4V alloy at high temperature
2016
International audience; This paper presents a study on the Ti-6Al-4V behaviour in presence of NaCl deposit under dry and moistair environments at 560◦C. The results evidence a detrimental effect of the NaCl deposit with a synergisticeffect in presence of moist air environment. Treatments under dry and moist air with NaCl deposit for600 h, lead respectively to weight gains per unit area 5 and 15 times higher than observed under classicoxidation in dry air. Enhancement of the corrosion phenomenon is attributed to the presence of gaseousmetal chlorides, leading to the establishment of an active corrosion process.
Prediction of phase transformation of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy during hot-forging processes using a numerical model
2013
In this article numerical model for prediction of phase evolution of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy was presented. In particular, attention was focused on alpha to beta and beta to alpha+beta phase transformations. The analysis was conducted using a commercial implicit finite element method code, considering the data and the parameters of a real case study to check the quality of the numerical model. The alpha to beta transformation was developed using the simplified form of the Avrami model and the beta to alpha+beta transformation was controlled through the generalized Avrami model. The model so-thought has been used to conduct a 2D simulation of a forging process. A comparison between the num…
Influence of Heat Treatment on Fatigue Crack Growth in Ti-6Al-4V Alloy
2011
The paper contains the results of experimental work carried out in order to analyse the initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks in Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy. The tests were performed on plane specimens with the stress concentrators in form of one-sided sharp notches. The tested specimens were made of the oxygenated Ti-6Al-4V subjected to various variants of heat treatment.
