Production of the Ti-Zr-Nb biomedical alloy powder and its application in the metal cored wire for DED-Arc-M process

The use of biomedical titanium alloys is gaining more and more interest and attention. In this work, the Ti-Zr-Nb system alloy was produced and studied, as well as its powder, that was obtained by the Hydrogenation-Dehydrogenation method. The problem of using powders obtained by this method is shown. Based on obtained powder, an experimental metal powder wire was made, which was used as filler material for TIG surfacing. As a result, a multilayer deposited detail was obtained, of which the microstructure and properties (modulus of elasticity and microhardness) were investigated.
