  • The oxidation behaviors of Ti-10Ta-10Nb alloy and Ti-6Al-4V alloy were studied in dry air atmosphere. Specimens were melted in consumable vacuum arc furnace and homogenized at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. Hot rolling was performed at $1000^{\circ}C$. Specimens of the alloys were oxidized as the temperature range $400~650^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The oxidation behavior of the alloys was analysed by optical microscope, SEM/EDX, XRD, XPS and TGA. Immersion test was performed in 1% Lactic acid. In the microscope observation, oxide layer of Ti-10Ta-10Nb alloy was denser and thinner than Ti-6Al-4V's. The weight gains during the oxidation rapidly increased at the temperature above $600^{\circ}C$ in Ti-6Al-4V's alloy and$ 700^{\circ}C$ in Ti-10Ta-10Nb alloy. According to XRD results, oxide layers were composed of mostly $TiO_2$(rutile) phase. It was analysed that the passive film of the Ti alloys consisted of $TiO_2$ through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) analysis.

  • In order to investigate ion release and biocompatibility of Ti-6Al-4V dental alloy by electrochemical corrosion test and MTT assay, commercial Ti-6Al-4V alloy rod (99.99% Ti, USA, Co) were used in the study. The microstructure of the alloys was examined by optical microscopy (OM), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), MTT assay, and corrosion test. From the polarization curves, very low current densities were obtained for Ti-6Al-4V alloys, indicating a formation of stable passive layer.

  • The purpose of this study is to develop new V-free Ti alloys which have good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Although pure Ti has an excellent biocompatibility and corrosion resistance in body, it is inferior to Ti alloys in mechanical properties, and Ti-6Al-4V which has good mechanical properties was known to be cytotoxic due to the alloying element V. New Ti based alloys which do not contain the toxic metallic components were developed by the alloy design technique. Their corrosion and mechanical characteristics were compared with pure Ti and Ti-6Al-4V in this study. The results showed that Ti-20Zr-3Nb-3Ta-0.2Pd-1In and Ti-5AI-4Zr-2.5Mo exhibit good mechanical oroperties and an excellent corrosion resistance in 0.9% NaCl solution.

  • A method for estimating the shear spinnability is suggested, and it was applied to sheets of Ti-6Al-4V alloy for estimation of shear spinnability at hot working temperature. The effective working temperature was $850^{\circ}C$ or above. The hot spinning operation was carried out in two steps of shear spinning. The reduction of thickness at the first step was 50% and 45% at the second, and the overall reduction of thickness was 72.4%. The cone spinning process could produce a uniform wall thickness with only a few percent tolerance, proving itself appropriate for making cones of Ti-6Al-4V alloy with uniform wall thickness.

  • The effect of microstructure on mechanical behavior for Ti-6Al-4V alloy was studied. Two different kinds of specimens are prepared using heat treatments (rolled plate, $1050^{\circ}C)$ in order to Produce different microstructures. Various kinds of mechanical tests such as hardness, tensile, fatigue and fretting fatigue tests are performed for evaluation of mechanical properties with the changes of microstructures. Through these tests, the following conclusions are observed: 1) Microstructures are observed as equiaxed and $widmanst{\ddot{a}}ten$ microstructures respectively. 2) Impact absorbed energy is superior for the equiaxed microstructure, and the hardness and tensile strength are superior for the $widmanst{\ddot{a}}ten$ microstructure. 3) The fatigue endurance of $widmanst{\ddot{a}}ten$ microstritcture shows higher value than that of the equiaxed microstructure. 4) The fatigue endurance in fretting condition was reduced about $50{\%}$ from that of the non-fretting condition.

  • The experimental study has been performed through residual stress using the Ti6Al4V, investigate the effect of laser shock peening on laser welding process residual stress of Ti6Al4V welds in a reduce safety weld zone. This research evaluated the effects of shock waves from laser shock peening with a pulsed Nd:YAG laser on Ti6Al4V welding specimens, through the analysis of the residual stress of the specimens. The residual stress could be formed by the depth of 1 mm if the proposed method of reducing the residual stress is performed in the optimal condition. The welded structures and products during the production process increase the mechanical property of repeated stress, which could be expected to extend the fatigue life of the structure.

  • In order to improve the wear resistance of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, plasma carburization treatment was newly carried out without consumption of its good specific strength and fatigue life over the temperature. Effect of the plasma carburization was analyzed and compared with the non-treated alloy by microstructural observation, structure characterization and mechanical test. The plasma treated alloy formed a carburized layer of about $150{\mu}m$ in depth from the surface, where a fine and hard particles of TiC and $V_4C_3$ were homogeneously dispersed through the layer. The steady-static creep behaviors of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, using the constant stress creep tester, were investigated over the temperature range of $510{\sim}550^{\circ}C$(0.42~0.44Tm) and the stress range of 200~275 MPa. Stress exponent(n) was decreased from 9.32 of non-treatment specimen to 8.95 of carburized, however, the activation energy(Q) increased from 238 to 250 kJ/mol with the same condition as indicated above. From the above results, it can be concluded that the static creep deformation for Ti-6Al-4V alloy was controlled by the dislocation climb over the ranges of the experimental conditions.
