Background technology
Titanium alloy has advantages such as high human compatibility, low density, low elastic modulus, high strength, anti-human body fluid corrosion, substitutes stainless steel and cobalt base alloy gradually and becomes hard tissue substituting materials such as bone and tooth.Be widely used in clinical medical medical titanium alloy at present and be mainly type alpha+beta Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-6Al-7Nb, its Young's modulus only is half of stainless steel and cobalt base alloy, thereby reduced the stress shielding effect that implant and bone modulus difference cause greatly, reduce osseous tissue and be absorbed risk with the implant fracture.Because the titanium alloy that contains Al and V has cytotoxicity and neurovirulent Al and V ion because of wearing and tearing and corrosion discharge behind long-term implant into body, developed country such as the U.S. and Japan is devoted to develop the β type medical titanium alloy with better human compatibility in middle nineteen nineties, as alloys such as Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr, the Ti-15Sn-4Nb-2Ta of Ti-13Nb-13Zr, the Ti-15Mo of the U.S. and Ti-35Nb-5Ta-7Zr and Japan and Ti-15Zr-4Nb-4Ta.Above alloy is the high-strength low-modulus medical titanium alloy, its Young's modulus under the solution treatment condition all greater than 60GPa, Young's modulus is mainly used in preparation and bears the implant of big load, as artificial bone, osteoarthrosis, plantation tooth root and hone lamella generally greater than 80GPa during ageing treatment.
For the Ti-Nb-Zr series titanium alloy, existing at present a plurality of patent applications about the low modulus medical alloy are to 10~20wt.%Nb content (U.S. Patent number: 5,545,227; 5,573,401; 5,169,597), (U.S. Patent number: 5,169,597) and less than the Nb of 24wt.% content and Zr (U.S. Patent number: ternary alloy 4,857,269) has carried out patent protection to 35~50wt.%Nb content.Above alloy is the low modulus medical titanium alloy, yet there are no the open report and the patent application of functional capability such as super-elasticity.
The TiNi shape memory alloy has excellent super-elasticity, utilizes medical device widespread use in clinical medicine of its functional performance preparation.Because the Ni element carinogenicity that can produce anaphylaxis and have, develop the bio-medical material that does not contain the Ni element since middle nineteen nineties, as no Ni medical stainless steel to the part crowd.
The shape memory effect of titanium alloy is found (Baker C, Shape memory effect in a Titanium-35wt%niobium alloy, MetalSci J, 1972 by Baker at first in the Ti-35wt.%Nb alloy; 5:92), Duerig also finds shape memory effect (Duerig TW, Richter DF, Albrecht J, Shape memory inTi-10V-2Fe-3Al, Acta Metall, 1982 in the Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al alloy subsequently; 30:2161).Because the shape memory effect of being found only just produces, and do not find that the alloy of being studied has super-elasticity when high temp. salt soaks rapid heating, therefore it is not furtherd investigate.Recent years, 6319340) and Ti-Mo-Al, Ti-Mo-Ga and Ti-Mo-Ge (Application No.: be that superelastic alloy has carried out patent application 20030188810) the Japan scientific research personnel finds that some titanium alloy has super-elasticity, and to Ti-V-Al, Ti-V-Ga and Ti-V-Ge (U.S. Patent number:.
Hao points out that when the metastable beta titanium alloy of research the content that reduces the crystal particle scale of alloy and control the α phase is effective ways (the Hao YL of preparation high-strength low-modulus titanium alloy, Niinomi M, Kuroda D, Fukunaga K, Zhou YL, Yang R, Suzuki A, Aging response of the Young ' smodulus and mechanical properties of Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr for biomedicalapplications, Metall.Mater.Trans.A, 2003; 34:1007).Therefore, preparation crystal grain is the key that overcomes the above problems in the bulk nano material of nanoscale.Yet the present effective ways of not inventing the bulk nano metal material that can prepare industrial application have as yet limited the nano metal material Application and Development.The research of more early stage nano metal material mainly concentrates on pure metal or structural alloys such as copper, iron and titanium, and metastable metallic substance may more or less freelyly carry out nanometer and handle in recent studies show that.Because common metastable metallic substance has functional capability such as super-elasticity and damping, such material will have wide practical use.
