Abstract:A biomedical β-Ti alloy Ti-25Nb-3Zr-3Mo-2Sn (mass fraction, %) was fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The characteristics, morphology and mechanical properties of TLM prealloyed powder after solid solution and aging were investigated. The results show that TLM prealloyed power prepared by plasma rotating electrode process has good spherical shape and high internal density. The solidification microstructure is consisted by small dendritic and single crystal. The sintered and as-soluted microstructures of TLM alloy propared by SPS method are equiaxed β phase and α″ martensite. The as-soluted alloy exhibits good comprehensive mechanical preperties with yield strength of 500 MPa, tensile strength of 624 MPa, elongation of 40% and elastic modulus of 54.5 GPa. Ageing at 500 ℃ for 6 h, after a superior the alloy has good plasticity, tensile strength reaches up to 1015 MPa, and the elastic modulus is 84 GPa.
