Abstract

In this study, we investigated morphology observation of nanostructured Ti-25Ta-xZr alloys. Ti-25Ta-(3wt%~15 wt%) Zr alloys were prepared by a vacuum arc-melting furnace. Formation of nanotubular structure was achieved by an electrochemical method in 1M $H_3PO_4$ electrolytes containing 0.8%wt.% NaF. Nanotube morphology depended on alloying elements.
