摘要
The microstructure and hardness near the surface of a biomedical titanium alloy, Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr (TNTZ), subjected to gas nitriding at 1023-1223 K was investigated in comparison with the conventional biomedical Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Ti64). After gas nitriding, the microstructure near the specimen surface was observed by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). In both alloys, two types of titanium nitrides (TiN and Ti(2)N) are formed and the a phase is precipitated by gas nitriding. Furthermore, the oxygen impurity in the gas nitriding atmosphere reacts with the titanium nitrides; thus, TiO(2) is formed at the outermost titanium nitride layer. The surface hardening was also evaluated by Vickers hardness measurement. The Vickers hardness near the surface of TNTZ and Ti64 increases significantly by gas nitriding.
