Summary: The present study investigates the anisotropic microstructure, nanomechanical, and corrosion behavior of direct energy deposited Ti-13Nb-13Zr biomedical alloys. The study reveals different mechanical behaviors in different planes, with the xy plane showing better indentation hardness and lower strain rate sensitivity compared to the x-z plane. The microstructure of the xy plane is finer, leading to better strength and corrosion resistance.

Summary: Implantable Al2O3/Ti-13Nb-13Zr (TNZ) alloy joints were achieved by diffusion bonding in this study. The presence of Ti element mainly contributed to the metallurgical bonding between TNZ and Al2O3 ceramic, while Nb reacted with Al2O3 ceramic forming Nb2O5 and AlNb2 phases that played important roles in interfacial bonding. The average shear strength of the joints initially rose and then declined with the increase of bonding temperature or holding time, reaching a maximum of 52.0 MPa under specific bonding conditions.

Summary: The corrosion resistance of the near-beta Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy was improved by ultrasonic shot peening treatment, primarily due to grain refinement and the increase in compressive residual stresses in the surface region. Passivation was most prominent after 30 seconds of USSP treatment, decreasing with longer durations.

Summary: Oxygen hardening of near-beta phase Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy in plasma glow discharge at 700-1000 degrees C significantly influences the alloy's hardened zone thickness, refinement of alpha' laths, and grain size of the bulk alloy, thereby enhancing its wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The treatment temperature has a direct impact on the microhardness and elastic modulus of the hardened zone as well as the overall tribological and micromechanical performance of the alloy.

Summary: The research focuses on the effect of anodizing conditions on the micromechanical and biotribological properties of Ti-13Zr-13Nb alloy. Anodizing was performed to produce first-generation (1G), second-generation (2G), and third-generation (3G) porous oxide nanotubes' (ONTs) layers on the alloy surface. The microstructure was characterized using SEM and micromechanical properties were tested by the Vickers microhardness test. Biotribological properties were examined using a ball-on-flat system in Ringer's solution. The composition of the electrolyte with fluoride ions was found to be crucial in determining the properties of the ONT layers.

Summary: Refractory metal based alloys have great potential as structural materials for high-temperature applications due to their high melting points. However, they are prone to catastrophic oxidation at around 700 degrees C. This study investigated the effect of aluminium diffusion coatings on the oxidation resistance of pure molybdenum, niobium, tantalum, and tungsten. The results showed that the aluminization improved the oxidation behavior and decreased the oxide growth rate for molybdenum and tantalum.
