Summary: In this study, the addition of cheap alloying elements (Cu and Fe) in Ti alloys was analyzed to produce low-cost ternary Ti-Cu-Fe alloys using powder metallurgy. The results showed that the compressibility of the powder blends decreased with the increase of alloying elements, but similar relative density values could still be achieved. The addition of Cu and Fe resulted in the formation of alloys with a lamellar microstructure, and the specific chemistry of the alloy determined the features of the microstructure and the deformation and failure mechanisms of the sintered ternary Ti-xCu-xFe alloys.

Summary: In this study, the effect of thermomechanical deformation temperature on the properties of the Ti-5Al-2.5Fe alloy produced from elemental powders was investigated. The research also analyzed the impact of microstructure modification through heat treatments on the properties of forged billets. The study demonstrated that powder forging can be successfully used to manufacture alpha+beta Ti alloys, with forging temperature significantly influencing the material's mechanical behavior, as lower temperatures result in stronger but less ductile material. Post-processing via solution treatment plus aging generally improves the Ti-5Al-2.5Fe alloy's mechanical properties, especially in terms of ductility, without compromising strength.

Summary: The study shows that Ti-Mo-Fe alloys offer significant cost savings on raw materials compared to current commercial biomedical Ti alloys, with excellent mechanical properties achieved through compositional adjustments. Porous Ti-10Mo-5Fe alloys with increased porosity through space holder additions exhibited decreased compressive strength and elastic modulus but are promising for hard tissue engineering applications due to their optimal pore sizes.

Summary: In this study, Ti-6Al-4V alloy samples with two bi-lamellar microstructures were prepared and analyzed. The alloy with higher Al concentration in the primary alpha lamellae and finer scale of beta t structure lamellae exhibited higher nano hardness and yield strength. The hardening mechanism mainly comes from the hardening of alpha and beta(t) lamellae, as well as the heterostructure induced hardening, while the significantly higher flow stress induced a higher degree of trans-lamellar twinning.

Summary: Powder metallurgy Cu-30Fe alloy was prepared using mechanical alloying, pressureless sintering, and rolling processes. The rolling process affected the alloy microstructure and physical properties. The Fe particles became elongated and changed shape, while the Cu grains became elongated and refined. The coordinated deformation of the Cu and Fe phases resulted in finer Cu grains near the Fe particles. After annealing, the cold-rolled Cu-30Fe alloy achieved a good combination of mechanical and functional properties.

Summary: The high cost of titanium alloys can be reduced by using alternative manufacturing techniques and cheap alloying elements. In this study, a cheaper alloy, Ti-5Al-2.5Fe, was produced using powder metallurgy and hot thermomechanical deformation. Annealing of the forged Ti-5Al-2.5Fe alloy improves both its strength and ductility, with longer annealing times resulting in higher gains. Additionally, annealing is more beneficial for improving ductility rather than strength in the powder-forged Ti-5Al-2.5Fe alloy.

Summary: This study focused on designing and processing a Ti-30Nb alloy with improved biocorrosion protection and lower elastic modulus for orthopedic applications. The effect of sintering temperature on phases, microstructure, microhardness, and modulus of elasticity was investigated. The results showed that increasing the sintering temperature enhanced the density, microhardness, and corrosion protection of the Ti-30Nb alloy. The developed Ti-30Nb alloy has a lower modulus and higher surface energy than commercial Ti6Al4V alloy, making it a potential candidate for orthopedic implants.

Summary: The Ti-10Mo/xHA composites fabricated by powder metallurgy showed excellent microstructural evolution, mechanical properties, and biological activity. As the HA content increased, the elastic modulus increased while the compressive strength decreased, and excessive HA content resulted in an increase in microcracks and pores.
