摘要
In spinal fixation devices, the Young's modulus of the metallic implant rod should be not only sufficiently low to prevent stress shielding for the patient but also sufficiently high to suppress springback for the surgeon. This paper proposes a novel function of biomedical titanium alloys self-adjustment of Young's modulus. Deformation-induced omega phase transformation was introduced into beta-type titanium alloys so that the Young's modulus of only the deformed part would increase during operation, while that of the non-deformed part would remain low. The Young's modulus increase by deformation was investigated for a binary Ti-12Cr alloy. This alloy successfully underwent deformation-induced to phase transformation and exhibited the increase in the Young's modulus by deformation. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
