Arc-melted Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-4Fe and Ti-(1,2) Si alloys were oxidized at 700, 800, 900 and $1000^{\circ}C$ in air. The oxidation resistance of Ti-4Fe was comparable to that of Ti-6Al-4V, while the oxidation resistance of Ti-(1,2) Si was superior to that of Ti-6Al-4V. Ti-2Si displayed the best oxidation resistance among the four alloys, but failed after oxidation at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 17h. The oxide scale formed on Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-4Fe and Ti-(1,2)Si consisted of ($TiO_2$ and a small amount of $Al_2$$O_3$), ($TiO_2$ and a small amount of dissolved iron), and ($TiO_2$ plus a small concentration of amorphous $SiO_2$), respectively. The oxide grains of the surface scale of the four alloys were generally fine and round.

적은 양의 침입형 불순물을 함유한 고순도 재료를 제조하기 위해 70 ㎾ 걸자 빔용해기를 제작하였으며 이를 이용해서 sponge Ti와 Ti-6Al-4V 합금을 용융시켰다. 전자 빔 용해법을 이용해 정련된 sponge Ti에 대한 실험 결과를 바탕으로 초기 용해 180초 동안에는 Ti의 순도가 증가하였지만 그 이후로는 크게 변화지 않는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 Ti의 정련 결과, 침입형 불순물과 금속 불순물의 양을 포함한 전체 불순물의 양이 900 ppm인 고순도(99.9 wt%)의 Ti를 얻었다. Ti-6Al-4V 합금의 전자 빔 용해에 대한 실험 결과로부터 손실되는 Al의 양은 열역학적 데이터, regular solution model 그리고 model of solute removal kinetics를 통해서 판단할 수 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 이 모델들로부터 계산된 합금 조성과 실험을 통해서 구한 합금 조성이 일치하였다. 그리고 Ti-6Al-4V 합금의 조성은 매우 균일하였으며 이것은 EPMA line scanning을 통해서 확인하였다.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to assess the surface characteristics and the biocompatibility of zirconium (Zr) coating on Ti-6Al-4V alloy surface by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The zirconium films were developed on Ti-6Al-4V discs using RF magnetron sputtering method. Surface profile, surface composition, surface roughness and surface energy were evaluated. Electrochemical test was performed to evaluate the corrosion behavior. Cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and gene expression of mineralized matrix markers were measured. RESULTS. SEM and EDS analysis showed that zirconium deposition was performed successfully on Ti-6Al-4V alloy substrate. Ti-6Al-4V group and Zr-coating group showed no significant difference in surface roughness (P>.05). Surface energy was significantly higher in Zr-coating group than in Ti-6Al-4V group (P<.05). No difference in cell morphology was observed between Ti-6Al-4V group and Zr-coating group. Cell proliferation was higher in Zr-coating group than Ti-6Al-4V group at 1, 3 and 5 days (P<.05). Zr-coating group showed higher ALP activity level than Ti-6Al-4V group (P<.05). The mRNA expressions of bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteocalcin (OCN) on Zr-coating group increased approximately 1.2-fold and 2.1-fold respectively, compared to that of Ti-6Al-4V group. CONCLUSION. These results suggest that zirconium coating on Ti-6Al-4V alloy could enhance the early osteoblast responses. This property could make non-toxic metal coatings on Ti-6Al-4V alloy suitable for orthopedic and dental implants.

Ti-6Al-4V 합금을 타겟트로 사용하여 유리 기판위에 dc reactive magnetron sputtering법으로 $N_2$/(Ar+N_2)$ 비, 기전력 및 시간등의 여러 가지 증착 조건에서 Ti-6Al-4V-N 필름을 증착하였고, 각각의 증착 조건에 따른 결정구조 및 우선방위 거동은 X-선 회절장치를 사용하여 조사하였다. Ti-6Al-4V-N 필름은 본질적으로 fcc 결정구조의 $\delta$-TiN에 Al과 V이 결함으로서 고용된 변형된 형태의 $\delta$-TiN구조이고, TiN의 격자상수(4.240 )보다 작은 값을 나타내었는데, 이는 Ti(1.47 )에 비하여 상대적으로 원자반경이 작은 Al(1.43 )과 V (1.32 )이 Ti의 격자위치에 치환된 결과이다. 그리고 Ti-6Al-4V-N 필름은 $_N2$가스 분압이 감소됨에 따라 (111) 우선방위 성장거동을 하였을 뿐만아니라 증착시간의 증가에 따라 뚜렷한 (111) 우선방위 성장거동을 나타내었다. 그리고 증착속도 및 결정입도의 거동 또한 여러 가지 증착 조건에 크게 의존한다

Ti-6Al-4V 및 Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V (AMS 4972) 합금 스크랩을 대상으로 수소화-탈수소화(HDH) 기술로 분말을 제조하고 칼슘 접촉식과 비접촉식 방법으로 탈산을 실시하여 탈산효과를 비교하였다. 타이타늄을 대상으로 한 이전 연구결과에서는 비접촉식 탈산법이 탈산 효과가 더 크다고 보고되었으나 산소함유량을 분석한 결과 Ti-6Al-4V 및 Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V 합금 분말 모두 비접촉식으로 탈산한 분말의 산소함유량이 더 높은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 XRD와 가스분석기를 이용하여 합금 내에 가장 많이 함유되어 있는 알루미늄이 비접촉식 탈산 공정 중 탈산에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다.

Biomimetic apatite formation and deposition behaviors of Ti-6Al-7Nb and Ti-6Al-4V plates in simulated body fluids(SBF) under various conditions were examined. In case of regular samples without collagen treatments the weight gain due to apatite precipitation on the surface in Ti-6Al-4V was found to be higher than in Ti-6Al-7Nb. In case of collagen-coated samples, the weight gain in Ti-6Al-4V continued to be higher than in Ti-6Al-7Nb, but the difference between the two became smaller. Both Ti-6Al-7Nb and Ti-6Al-4V samples with collagen coating exhibited an appreciable increase of weight gain, which may be caused by the interaction between collagen and $Ca^{+2}$ ions. The weight gain was found to be not much affected by the addition of collagen to SBF. The ill-defined granular structure in the presence of collagen can be associated with the increasing volume fraction of amorphous calcium phosphate.

The resistance to corrosion of additive manufactured (3D printing) Ti-6Al-4V alloys was investigated using micro-electrochemical tests. In terms of corrosion resistance, the acicular martensitic ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ phase in such additive manufactured Ti-6Al-4V was the focus of attention, and its behavior was distinct from that of conventional subtractive manufactured Ti-6Al-4V. To order to identify ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ phase, XRD tests were performed and micro Vickers hardness was measured for different grains (bright and dark grains) in the additive manufactured Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Micro-electrochemical tests were performed to measure corrosion resistance of bright and dark grains in the additive manufactured Ti-6Al-4V alloy with specially designed electrochemical micro-droplet cell. Critical pitting temperature (CPT) measurement was performed to evaluate the resistance to pitting corrosion of additive manufactured Ti-6Al-4V alloys with different volumes of ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ phase and subtractive manufactured Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The dark grains of the laminated Ti-6Al-4V alloy distributed broader than the bright grains measured with low microhardness. The dark grains of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, which was rich in martensite ${\alpha}^{\prime}$, had lower general corrosion and pitting resistance than bright grains. As the fraction of martensite ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ phase increased, the resistance to the pitting corrosion decreased.

Cp-Ti and Ti-6Al-4V alloys commonly used dental implant materials, particularly for orthopaedic and osteosynthesis because of its suitable mechanical properties and excellent biocompatibility. This alloys have excellent corrosion behavior in the clinical environment. The first factor to decide the success of dental implantation is sufficient osseointegration and high corrosion resistance between on implant fixture and its surrounding bone tissue. In this study, in order to increase corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of Cp-Ti and Ti-6Al-4V alloy that surface of manufactured alloy was coated with TiN by RF-magnetron sputtering method. The electrochemical behavior of TiN coated Cp-Ti and Ti-6Al-4V alloy were investigated using potentiodynamic (EG&G Co, PARSTAT 2273. USA) and potentiostatic test (250mV) in 0.9% NaCl solution at 36.5 $\pm$ 1$^{\circ}C$. These results are as follows : 1. From the microstructure analysis, Cp-Ti showed the acicular structure of $\alpha$-phase and Ti-6Al-4V showed the micro-acicular structure of ${\alpha}+{\beta}$ phase. 2. From the potentiodynamic test, Ecorr value of Cp-Ti and Ti-6Al-4V alloys showed -702.48mV and -319.87mV, respectively. Ti-6Al-4V alloy value was higher than Cp-Ti alloy. 3. From the analysis of TiN and coated layer, TIN coated surface showed columnar structure with 800 nm thickness. 4. The corrosion resistance of TiN coated Cp-Ti and Ti-6Al-4V alloys were higher than those of the non-coated Ti alloys in 0.9% NaCl solution from potentiodynamic test, indicating better protective effect. 5. The passivation current density of TiN coated Cp-Ti and Ti-6Al-4V alloys were smaller than that of the noncoated implant fixture in 0.9% NaCl solution, indicating the good protective effect resulting from more compact and homogeneous layer formation.

Manufacturing process of Ti-6Al-4V alloy billet was investigated with FEM simulation and experimental analysis. Before the breakdown process of Ti-6Al-4V alloy ingot, FEM simulation for the breakdown processes of Ti-6Al-4V alloy ingot was used to calculate the forging load and state variables such as strain, strain rate and temperature. In order to breakdown the ingot structure and make an equiaxed structure billet, two different processes were employed for a VAR/VAR processed Ti-6Al-4V alloy ingot. Firstly, the ingot was cogged in single-phase $\beta$ field at the temperature of $1,100^{\circ}C$. In the process, the coarse and inhomogeneous structure developed by the double melting process was broken down. The second breakdown was performed by upsetting and cogging processes in $\alpha+\beta$ phase field to obtain the microstructure of fine equixed $\alpha$ structure in the matrix of transformed $\beta$. Finally, the mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy billet made in this work were compared with those of other billet and ring product.
