Abstract

The invention provides a low-magnetic-susceptibility beta-type Zr-Nb-Ta series alloy which comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 10% of Nb, 10% to 20% of Ta, and the balance Zr and inevitable impurities, wherein the weight percentage of Zr is higher than 50% and the optimal weight percentage of Ta is 15%. The low-magnetic-susceptibility beta-type Zr-Nb-Ta series alloy is better matched with the elasticity modulus of natural bone and lower in magnetic susceptibility. The invention further provides a preparation method of the low-magnetic-susceptibility beta-type Zr-Nb-Ta series alloy. According to the preparation method, the content of Nb is set as a critical point of the transformation from the alpha phase to the beta phase; on the above basis, Ta is added as an alloying element; accordingly, metastable beta-Zr can be obtained at room temperature; meanwhile, the solution strengthening effect can be achieved; the shaping and processing properties of the low-magnetic-susceptibility beta-type Zr-Nb-Ta series alloy can be prevented from being influenced when the strength of the low-magnetic-susceptibility beta-type Zr-Nb-Ta series alloy is improved; and furthermore, the corrosion resistance of the low-magnetic-susceptibility beta-type Zr-Nb-Ta series alloy can be enhanced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of alloys, in particular to a low magnetic susceptibility β-type Zr-Nb-Ta alloy and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Titanium and its alloys have been widely used in biomedical implant materials, especially β-titanium alloys are the most widely used. However, the elastic modulus of β-titanium alloy does not match the elastic modulus of natural human bones, which may easily cause stress shielding effect, lead to bone resorption around the implant, and cause loosening or fracture of the implant, which is not conducive to bone healing and implantation. The long-term stability of entering the body is easy to cause damage to the human body. In addition, metal materials will produce magnetic field disturbances under strong magnetic fields, and the magnitude of magnetic field disturbances is positively correlated with the magnetic susceptibility of implanted metal materials. The imaging distortio...
