Abstract

Mechanical alloying, MA, is an amorphization technique which involves a solid state reaction below the crystallization temperature. This technique is capable of producing a more homogeneous and fine microstructure with improved mechanical properties. Amorphization of Titanium aluminide binary system, in the range of 45–65 at % Al is possible under optimized milling conditions since in this range the mixture has a large negative heat of mixing. This system is considered suitable for human implant applications for its light-weight, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, strength-to-weight ratio and biocompatibility.
