Additive manufacturing of biomimetic Titanium-Tantalum lattices for biomedical implant applications

Nicolas Soro et al.

Summary: In this study, 3D lattices designed with gyroid, diamond, and Schwarz primitive minimal surfaces are fabricated using laser powder-bed fusion and a blend of titanium-tantalum powder. The processability, compressive mechanical properties, and in vitro biological properties of the dense and lattice samples are evaluated. The results show that the Ti-25Ta lattices exhibit higher ductility and absence of toxic elements compared to the conventional Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The designs also demonstrate advantageous mechanical properties and higher elastic admissible strains for bone implants compared to conventional lattices.

Atomic-scale understanding of the structural evolution of TiN/AlN superlattice during nanoindentation - Part 1: Deformation

Zhuo Chen et al.

Summary: At present, the theoretical predictions of the mechanical properties of transition-metal nitride superlattices primarily rely on the intrinsic properties of perfect epitaxial nanolayers. However, the experimentally determined strength, such as hardness, often deviates significantly from the theoretical predictions due to a lack of understanding of the specific strengthening mechanism. In this study, by using focused ion beam sectioning combined with transmission electron microscopy, the structural evolution of two representative TiN/AlN superlattice coatings, namely single-crystalline and polycrystalline superlattices, under identical loads was observed. It was found that the single-crystalline superlattice formed a larger 'intermixed' region compared to the polycrystalline superlattice, where the layer structure transformed into a solid solution under loads. The deformation of the single-crystalline superlattice involved distortion of the superlattice interfaces, polycrystalline deformation (grain rotation) in the solid solution, and superlattice slip deformation, while columnar grain boundary sliding was the primary deformation mechanism in the polycrystalline superlattice. The relatively large solid-solution zone in the single-crystalline superlattice was attributed to severe interfacial deformation. This research reveals the atomic-scale deformation behavior of transition-metal nitride superlattices.

Effect of substrate temperature and preferred orientation on the tribological properties of Tantalum nitride coatings

J. Jenis Samuel et al.

Summary: Tantalum nitride coatings were deposited on stainless steel substrates using magnetron sputtering, and their structural and tribological characteristics were studied. XRD analysis showed cubic phase coatings without secondary phases, and revealed changes in preferred orientation with substrate temperature. The coating deposited at 400 degrees Celsius with (220) preferred orientation exhibited lower friction coefficient and enhanced wear resistance compared to coatings deposited at 200 and 300 degrees Celsius.
