Ti6Al7Nb alloy foams having 53-73% porosity were manufactured via evaporation of magnesium space holders. A bioactive 1 mu m thick sodium hydrogel titanate layer, NaxH2-xTiyO2y+1., formed after 5 M NaOH treatment, was converted to crystalline sodium titanate, Na2TiyO2y+1, as a result of post-heat treatment. On the other hand, subsequent CaCl2 treatment of NaOH treated specimens induced calcium titanate formation. However, heat treatment of NaOH-CaCl2 treated specimens led to the loss of calcium and disappearance of the titanate phase. All of the aforementioned surface treatments reduced yield strengths due to the oxidation of the cell walls of the foams, while elastic moduli remained mostly unchanged. Accordingly, equiaxed dimples seen on the fracture surfaces of as-manufactured foams turned into relatively flat and featureless fracture surfaces after surface treatments. On the other hand, Ca- and Na-rich coating preserved their mechanical stabilities and did not spall during fracture. The relation between mechanical properties of foams and macro-porosity fraction were found to obey a power law. The foams with 63 and 73% porosity met the desired biocompatibility requirements with fully open pore structures and elastic moduli similar to that of bone. In vitro tests conducted in simulated body fluid (SBF) showed that NaOH-heat treated surfaces exhibit the highest bioactivity and allow the formation of Ca-P rich phases having Ca/P ratio of 1.3 to form within 5 days. Although Ca-P rich phases formed only after 15 days on NaOH-CaCl2 treated specimens, the Ca/P ratio was closer to that of apatite found in bone.

In vitro bioactivity investigation of alkali treated Ti6Al7Nb alloy foams
Butev, Ezgi; ESEN, ZİYA; Bor, Sakir (2015-02-01)
Biocompatible Ti6Al7Nb alloy foams with 70% porosity manufactured by space holder method were activated via alkali treatment using 5 M NaOH solution at 60 degrees C. The interconnected pore structures enabled formation of homogenous sodium rich coating on the foam surfaces by allowing penetration of alkali solution throughout the pores which had average size of 200 mu m. The resulted coating layer having 500 nm thickness exhibited porous network morphology with 100 nm pore size. On the other hand, heat trea...
Characterization of Ti-6Al-4V alloy foams synthesized by space holder technique
ESEN, ZİYA; Bor, Sakir (2011-03-25)
Ti-6Al-4V foams, biomedical candidate materials, were synthesized by powder metallurgical space holder technique as a result of evaporation of magnesium to achieve desired porosity content. Final products contained porosities in the range similar to 43-64% with an average macropore size between 485 and 572 mu m and a lamellar type Widmanstatten microstructure composed of alpha-platelets and beta-laths. Unlike the case of bulk Ti-6Al-4V alloy tested under compression loading, compression stress-strain curves...
Processing of titanium foams using magnesium spacer particles
Esen, Z.; Bor, S. (2007-03-01)
Production of titanium foams using magnesium powders as spacer particles has been investigated. Titanium foams having porosities in the range 45-70% with an average pore size of around 525 mu m have been manufactured. The resultant yield strength and elastic moduli values were observed to vary in the range 15-116 MPa and 0.42-8.8 GPa, respectively. (c) 2006 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Investigation of texture development and Portevin-Le Chatelier bands in 5754 aluminum alloy
Aytuna, Orhan Berk; Efe, Mert; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2019)
Texture and microstructure are substantial parameters for final products which are made of non-heat treatable aluminum alloys such as 5xxx series. Optimizing these parameters is possible via deformation processes and following heat treatments. In this thesis; hot and cold rolling operation, as a basic deformation process, was applied to the aluminum and resulting copper, brass and cube type of texture was investigated. Effects of different annealing parameters on the deformed specimens were also analyzed wi...
Use of functionalized boehmite nanoparticles to improve the hardness and tribological properties of polyurethane films
Eroglu, Gulden; Gündüz, Güngör; Çolak, Üner; MAVİŞ, BORA (2018-01-13)
Plate-like boehmite nanoparticles (BH) produced from aluminum hydroxide by hydrothermal process were functionalized in one step with two different diisocyanates. The amount of free isocyanates that were available for polymerization reaction was determined to be higher in functionalization with the aromatic diisocyanate (diphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate -MDI). In composite film production MDI functionalized BH (MDI-BH) was used. Polyurethane based nanocomposite films were produced through polymerization of ...
