CALPHAD-type modeling was used to describe the single-crystal elastic constants of the bcc
solution phase in the ternary Ti–Nb–Zr system. The parameters in the model were evaluated …

We used CALPHAD-type model to describe single crystal elastic constants of bcc solution
phases in Zr–Nb system. The model parameters were evaluated by utilizing least square …

High alloyed β-phase stabilized titanium alloys are known to provide comparable Young's
modulus as that to the human bones (~ 30 GPa) but is marred by its high density. In the …

Multicomponent, biomedical β-Ti alloys offer ultra-low Young modulus values that are
related to a unique and poorly understood reduction of C 44 and C′ elastic constants in …

This article describes a systematic theoretical investigation of the role of Nb substitution on
the structural and mechanical properties of Ti-Nb alloys. The aim is to understand the origin …

The β-phase stabilized ternary Nb–Ti–Zr alloys with low Young's modulus similar to that of
the human bones (30 GPã40 GPa) are highly desirable for biomedical application. However …

Although there is difficulty in growing a Ti–33Nb–4Sn single crystal due to its ultralow β-
phase stability, the single-crystal elastic constants of metastable β-type Ti–33Nb–4Sn (wt%) …

The alloying effects of Nb, Zr, and/or Sn on the phase stability and elastic properties of Ti are
investigated by using a first-principles method. Our calculation results indicate that a …

The cause of a low Young's modulus was investigated in quaternary β-type Ti–Nb–Ta–Zr
alloys, as the modulus is decreased to prevent bone absorption and degradation of bone …

Titanium alloys dedicated to biomedical applications may display both clinical and
mechanical biocompatibility. Based on nontoxic elements such as Ti, Zr, Nb, Ta, they should …
