Arc-melted Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-4Fe and Ti-(1,2) Si alloys were oxidized at 700, 800, 900 and $1000^{\circ}C$ in air. The oxidation resistance of Ti-4Fe was comparable to that of Ti-6Al-4V, while the oxidation resistance of Ti-(1,2) Si was superior to that of Ti-6Al-4V. Ti-2Si displayed the best oxidation resistance among the four alloys, but failed after oxidation at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 17h. The oxide scale formed on Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-4Fe and Ti-(1,2)Si consisted of ($TiO_2$ and a small amount of $Al_2$$O_3$), ($TiO_2$ and a small amount of dissolved iron), and ($TiO_2$ plus a small concentration of amorphous $SiO_2$), respectively. The oxide grains of the surface scale of the four alloys were generally fine and round.

본 연구는 치과용 순 타이타늄 스크랩을 재활용하여 진공 아크 용해에 의해 Ti-6Al-4V 합금을 제조하였고, 이때 산소함량이 다르게 제조된 Ti-6A1-4V 합금의 물성을 평가하였다. 사용된 타이타늄 스크랩은 치과용 임플란트 재료로써 ASTM G1~G4 등급으로 산소함량이 다르게 진공 아크 용해에 의해 건전한 잉곳을 만든 후 Ti-6Al-4V 합금을 제조하였다. 합금 제조시 875 torr의 가압 아르곤 분위기에서 용해하였을 때 Al 조성의 손실이 방지됨을 확인하였다. 제조된 Ti-6Al-4V의 산소함량이 1170~3340 ppm으로 증가함에 따라 Ti-6Al-4V의 경도가 증가하여 순 타이타늄의 경향과 동일함을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해서 Ti-6Al-4V 합금 제조에 있어서 진공 아크 용해에 의해 치과용 순 타이타늄 스크랩의 재활용 가능성을 확인하였다.

Ti-6Al-4V 합금을 타겟트로 사용하여 유리 기판위에 dc reactive magnetron sputtering법으로 $N_2$/(Ar+N_2)$ 비, 기전력 및 시간등의 여러 가지 증착 조건에서 Ti-6Al-4V-N 필름을 증착하였고, 각각의 증착 조건에 따른 결정구조 및 우선방위 거동은 X-선 회절장치를 사용하여 조사하였다. Ti-6Al-4V-N 필름은 본질적으로 fcc 결정구조의 $\delta$-TiN에 Al과 V이 결함으로서 고용된 변형된 형태의 $\delta$-TiN구조이고, TiN의 격자상수(4.240 )보다 작은 값을 나타내었는데, 이는 Ti(1.47 )에 비하여 상대적으로 원자반경이 작은 Al(1.43 )과 V (1.32 )이 Ti의 격자위치에 치환된 결과이다. 그리고 Ti-6Al-4V-N 필름은 $_N2$가스 분압이 감소됨에 따라 (111) 우선방위 성장거동을 하였을 뿐만아니라 증착시간의 증가에 따라 뚜렷한 (111) 우선방위 성장거동을 나타내었다. 그리고 증착속도 및 결정입도의 거동 또한 여러 가지 증착 조건에 크게 의존한다

The high-temperature deformation mechanisms of a ${\alpha}+{\beta}$ titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), near-a titanium alloy (Ti-6.85Al-1.6V) and a single-phase a titanium alloy (Ti-7.0Al-1.5V) were deduced within the framework of inelastic-deformation theory. For this purpose, load relaxation tests were conducted on three alloys at temperatures ranging from 750 to $950^{\circ}C$. The stress-versus-strain rate curves of both alloys were well fitted with inelastic-deformation equations based on grain matrix deformation and grain-boundary sliding. The constitutive analysis revealed that the grain-boundary sliding resistance is higher in the near-${\alpha}$ alloy than in the two-phase ${\alpha}+{\beta}$ alloy due to the difficulties in relaxing stress concentrations at the triple-junction region in the near-${\alpha}$ alloy. In addition, the internal-strength parameter (${\sigma}^*$) of the near-${\alpha}$ alloy was much higher than that of the ${\alpha}+{\beta}$ alloy, thus implying that dislocation emission/ slip transfer at ${\alpha}/{\alpha}$ boundaries is more difficult than at ${\alpha}/{\beta}$ boundaries.

RF sputtering process was applied to produce thin hydroxyapatite［HA, Ca10($PO_4$)$_{6}$ $ (OH)_2$films on Ti-6Al-4V alloy substrates. To make a 101.6 mm dia.${\times}$5 mm HA target, the commercial HA powder was first calcinated for 3h at $200^{\circ}C$. A certain amount of the calcinated HA powder was pressed under a pressure of 20,000 psi by the cold isostatic press(CIP) and the pressed HA target was sintered for 6 h at $1,200^{\circ}C$. The effects of different heat treating conditions on the bonding strength between HA thin films and Ti-6Al-4V alloy substrates were studied. Before deposition, the alloy substrates were annealed for 1 h at $850^{\circ}C$ under $3.0${\times}$10^{-3}$ Xtorr, and after deposition, the hydroxyapatite/Ti-6Al-4V alloy thin films were annealed for 1 h at 400, 600 and $800^{\circ}C$ under the atmosphere, respectively. Experimental results represented that the HA thin films on the annealed substrates had higher hardness than non-heat treated substrates before the deposition.

In this study, calcium titanate $(CaTiO_3)$ gel was prepared by mixing calcium nitrate and titanium isopropoxide in 2-methoxy-ethanol. $CaTiO_3$ gel was single-layer coated on Ti-6Al-4V using a sol-gel dip-coating technique. The coating was calcined at $750^{\circ}C$ in air by utilizing a very slow heating rate of $2^{\circ}C/min$. The crystalline phases of the coating were characterized by x-ray diffraction using a slow scan rate of $1^{\circ}/min$. The morphology of the coating was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The corrosion behavior of Ti-6Al-4V samples coated with $CaTiO_3$ films were tested in an artificial saliva solution by potentiodynamic polarization and were quantified by the Tafel extrapolation method. The electrochemical parameters showed a considerable increase in the corrosion resistance for the $CaTiO_3$-coated Ti-6Al-4V samples compared to bare substrates.

In this study, the effects of ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) treatment at room and high temperatures (RT and HT of 400℃) on friction and wear behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy prepared by selective laser melting (SLM) were investigated. The objective of this study is to improve the mechanical properties and frictional behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy by UNSM treatment. Dry friction and wear tests were conducted using a ball-on-disk method at RT with a bearing steel as the counter ball. Due to the high HT and UNSM treatment, the surface hardness tended to increase and surface roughness tended to reduce. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that nanocrystallization structure and compressive residual stress were formed at the surface layer after UNSM treatment at both RT and HT. After UNSM treatment, it was observed that the wear rate was reduced by about 6% for the specimen treated at RT and a 28% reduction for the specimen treated at HT in comparison with the untreated one. Based on scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showed that the damage caused by fatigue wear occurred in the wear track of the heat-treated specimen, and it is believed to be the cause of the highest wear rate. Mechanical properties and wear resistance of Ti-6Al-4V alloy were improved and prospect of industrial application was confirmed. Further research is still required to improve the characteristics of SLM Ti-6Al-4V alloy to the level of wrought Ti-6Al-4V alloy.

ion beam processing of materials for medical application has gained increasing interest in the last decade and the implantation of nitrogen into TI-6AI-4V to improve corrosive-wear performance is currently used for processing of total hip and knee joints. Oxides and nitrides of Ti, Zr, Al, Cr were deposited on TI-6AI-4V substrates by DC magnetron sputtering dual ion beam sputtering and ion beam assisted deposition. The cytotoxicity of these films were investigated by MTT method and showed comparable to untreated TI-6AI-4V Plasm-sprayed hydroxyapatite(HAp) coatings showed excellent cytotoxicity regardless of heat treatment. intermediate layer coatings of nitrides and oxides increased the bond strength of HAp to substrate by intrdducing chemical bond at interface. Heat treatment of HAp coatings also improved the chemical bond at interfaces and increased the bond strength of untreated TI-6AI-4V to 16.4 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ but still lower than 33.1 kg./$\textrm{cm}^2$ of ir oxide as a imtermediate layer caoting.

A single electro-discharge-sintering (EDS) pulse (1.0 kJ/0.7 g), from a $300{\mu}F$ capacitor, was applied to atomized spherical Ti-6Al-4V powder in a low vacuum to produce porous-surfaced implant compacts. A solid core surrounded by a porous layer was formed by a discharge in the middle of the compact. XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) was used to study the surface characteristics of the implant material. C, O, and Ti were the main constituents, with smaller amounts of Al, V, and N. The implant surface was lightly oxidized and was primarily in the form of $TiO_2$ with a small amount of metallic Ti. A lightly etched EDS implant sample showed the surface form of metallic Ti, indicating that EDS breaks down the oxide film of the as-received Ti-6Al-4V powder during the discharge process. The EDS Ti-6Al-4V implant surface also contained small amounts of aluminum oxide in addition to $TiO_2$. However, V detected in the EDS Ti-6Al-4V implant surface, did not contribute to the formation of the oxide film..
