Resumo
Metallic biomaterials have been used for biomedical applications, such as cardiovascular, orthopaedics and orthodontics, due to excellent properties. In this study, the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of new quaternary alloy Ti25Ta25Nb3Sn were evaluated. Alloys were processing in arc melting furnace with argon atmosphere and cold worked by rotary swaging. Alloy microstructure, crystalline phases and mechanical properties such as Young's modulus, yield strength and tensile strength were evaluated. Corrosion resistance was investigated in fluoride solution by electrochemical polarization and biocompatibility with human dermal fibroblasts were also evaluated. In our study, for quaternary alloy Ti25Ta25Nb3Sn the stabilization of beta phase was maintained. It was observed that the elastic modulus of Ti25Ta25Nb3Sn (65 GPa) was lower than CP Ti (105 GPa) and Ti6Al4V (110 GPa) and slightly higher than Ti25Ta25Nb (55 GPa) alloy. The addition of Sn suppressed the double yielding verified on ternary alloy Ti25Ta25Nb. Electrochemical studies showed that stable passive oxide film was formed on the Ti25Ta25Nb3Sn surface and an increase of HDF adhesion and proliferation on alloy surface, indicating that the alloy is non-cytotoxic may provide a favorable material for biomedical applications. Results obtained showed that Ti25Ta25Nb3Sn alloy is indicated for biomedical applications.
