L-29: A New Metastable Ti Alloys with High Elastic Admissible Strain and Enhanced Ductility for Orthopaedic Application: Yidong Xu1; Junheng Gao1; Yuhe Huang1; Mark Rainforth1; 1University of Sheffield
    In this work, a new high-performance biomedical titanium alloy Ti-5Mo-Fe-3Sn (at%) was successfully developed. Compared to beta Ti and commercial Ti-6Al-4V ELI, the formation of athermal omega phase was suppressed, resulting in extremely low elastic modulus (52GPa). Meanwhile, an excellent combination of yield strength (740MPa) and plasticity (uniform elongation ~15%) was acquired, leading to a high elastic admissible strain (1.42%), which could be regarded as the one of the best combination of mechanical parameters suitable for orthopaedic application in comparison with recent developed biomedical Ti alloys. TEM results reveal a new twin-twin mediated structure that two various {332}<113> variants and ternary {112}<111> twin are activated in primary {332}<113> twin with an increase of strain, which maintains the strain hardening rate and are responsible for the enhanced plasticity.
