Influence of hydrogen alloying on structure and phase composition of titanium and zirconium alloys for implanted medical products
A. Mamonov, A. Safaryan, V. Zasypkin, E. Agarkova
The influence of additional hydrogen alloying and hydrogenation thermokinetic conditions on the phase composition and structure of Zr-2,5Nb zirconium alloy was investigated. The achieved effects were compared with titanium alloys as a possibility for refinement of the initial lamellar structure. The significant differences in the features of structure and phase composition formation in VT20 titanium alloy and Zr-2,5Nb zirconium alloy were revealed during the hydrogen alloying, which concerned stability of beta-phase, volume effects of phase transformations, etc.
Keywords: titanium, zirconium, hydrogen, thermohydrogen treatment, structure, medical implants.

Investigation of contact corrosion resistance of titanium alloys and other metallic materials for medical implants
Yu. Chernyshova, A. Safaryan, V. Karpov, D. Gusev
In this work we investigated contact corrosion resistance of titanium and other alloys used in endoprosthesis now, and zirconium-based alloy which is a perspective material for using in this area. It was revealed that the contact corrosion rate of stainless steel in combination with Co-Cr-Mo alloy in constructions of implants was 22 folds greater compared with other materials combinations, which indicates the danger of these materials coupling. Our studies also revealed the danger of coupling from titanium alloys with Co-Cr-Mo alloy, which is confirmed by the clinical experience of their application. It was shown that titanium-titanium nickelide and titanium-zirconium metal couples were at risk.
Keywords: titanium, titanium nickelide, zirconium, medical implants, corrosion resistance, contact corrosion.

Calculation-experimental method of forecasting fracture toughness of titanium alloys
S. Serikov
In an article, in Scheme of viscous plastic medium, it is being simulated the behavior of titanium alloys which deform over time under load in a wide range of strain rates. A method for determining the mechanical properties of metals was developed, that allows with the calculation-experimental method to predict the fracture toughness of titanium alloys.
Keywords: titanium alloy, viscous plastic medium, strength limit, coefficient of dynamic viscosity, elongation, fracture energy, fracture strength, deformation rate, resilience.

Technology of titanium alloys rolling in 3-roll passes
O. Siverin, V. Dukmasov
The technology of titanium alloys rolling for the continuous light-section threeroll wire mill of the Chepetsk Mechanical Plant was developed. Recommended conditions of billets heating in the heating furnace are specified. The basic parameters for design of grooving are suggested. The experimental dependences for calculation of strain resistance to the seven alloys were found. The reliability of the developed grooving is shown by the way of the experimental rolling.
Keywords: rolling, continuous mill, multiroll passes, grooving.
