Abstract In order to regulate the multi-scale structure of Ti-6Al-4V formed by the SLM (selective laser melting) process, this study uses the method of combining numerical simulations with experiments to investigate the effects of SLM process parameters on the phase composition, micro- and meso-structures, and their distribution of Ti-6Al-4V. The study shows that the SLM-formed Ti-6Al-4V is mainly composed of α/α' phases. Horizontally, the specimens at a 0° phase angle mainly show a striped pattern, while the specimens at 67° and 90° phase angles will show a tessellated pattern. Vertically, the specimens at 0°, 67°, and More >

Abstract Eddy current displacement sensors in full-maglev left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) suffer from low sensitivity resulting from the use of a stator titanium alloy frame. The aim of this study was to develop a methodology to improve the sensitivity of eddy current displacement sensors and formulate a mathematical model of coil impendence to illustrate the impact of the addition of a titanium alloy frame between the sensor coils and the measured conductor. An equivalent mutual inductance model in the circuit was established for LVADs with and without a titanium alloy frame stator wall. Comparing the… More >

Abstract When cranial bone needs to be removed or lost, subsequent reconstruction of the defect is necessary to protect the underlying brain, correct aesthetic deformities, or both. Cranioplasty surgical procedures are performed to correct the skull defects requiring reconstruction of form and function. Personalized cranial implants can repair severe injuries to the skull can be done through This study presents the optimization of cranial titanium implants. A total of sixty different models were subjected to a simulation by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) applying the mechanical properties of a grade 5 titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) implant material.

Abstract The advent of additive technologies has provided a significant breakthrough in the production of medical implants. It has reduced costs, increased productivity and accuracy of the implant manufacturing process. However, there are problems associated with assessing defects in the microstructure, mechanical and technological properties of alloys, both during their production by powder metallurgy and in the process of 3D printing. Thus traditional research methods of alloys properties demand considerable human, material, and time resources. At the same time, artificial intelligence tools create opportunities for intelligent evaluation of the conformity for the microstructure, phase composition, and… More >

Abstract In order to meet the clinical requirements of spine surgery, this paper proposed the exploratory research of computer-aided design and selective laser melting (SLM) fabrication of a bionic porous titanium spine implant. The structural design of the spinal implant is based on CT scanning data to ensure correct matching, and the mechanical properties of the implant are verified by simulation analysis and laser selective melting experiment. The surface roughness of the spinal implant manufactured by SLM without post-processing is Ra 15 μm, and the implant is precisely jointed with the photosensitive resin model of the… More >

Abstract In order to study failure perspective of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy welded joint, fracture behavior of the heat affected zone is researched. Microhardness, tensile test and microstructure are used to study the mechanical properties of the titanium alloy laser welded joint. The tensile and microhardness results show that heat affected zone near the base metal is the weakest in welded joints. This paper is based on the results from in-situ tension test to observe the process of crack expansion in heat affected zone. And then, in-situ test is simulated via the finite element method on ABAQUS More >

Abstract The processing maps are a superimposition of iso-efficiency contour map and flow instability map, which are used to design hot working processing conditions in a wide variety of materials. In order to construct the processing maps, the efficiency of power dissipation and an instability criterion taking into account the contribution of strain and microstructure evolution are proposed based on a set of microstructure-based viscoplastic constitutive equations. In viscoplastic constitutive equations, the grain size of matrix phase and the dislocation density are taken as internal state variables. And, the material constants in present equations can be… More >

Abstract Finite element simulations are performed to investigate the plastic deformation behavior of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy during its indirect extrusion through a four-hole die. The simulations assume the die, mandrel and container to be rigid bodies and ignore the temperature change induced during the extrusion process. Under various extrusion conditions, the present numerical analysis investigates the effective stress and profile of product at the exit. The relative influences of the friction factors, the temperature of billet and the eccentricity of four-hole displacement are systematically examined. The simulations focus specifically on the effects of the friction factor, More >
