Production, Characterization and Electrochemical Properties of Advanced Bulk Metallic Glasses for Hip Implant Applications

Tabeshian, Ali January 2011 (has links)
The aim of the present project was to investigate the possibilities of using a Zr55Cu30Ni5Al10 Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG) alloy as articulating surface in an artificial hip joint. In order for a material to be used in human body as an implant, the foremost requirement is the acceptability by the human body. The implantations should not cause diseases or other complications for the patients. Moreover, the biomaterials should possess sufficient mechanical strength, high corrosion and wear resistance in harsh body environment with varying loading conditions. There have been extensive research on the properties of stainless steel, Co-Cr-Mo alloys and Ti alloys regarding their bio-compatibility and they are currently being used as orthopedic implants, however less information is available for bulk metallic glasses. So, understanding the corrosion properties of BMGs is one of the key issues to evaluate their potential as biomaterials. In the first phase of the project there was an attempt to develop a Zr-based BMG from pure elements in a vertical resistance furnace and quenching in liquid nitrogen. Afterwards, samples were examined by X-Ray diffraction and microscopically to investigate the presence of crystalline phases.  The second phase was electrochemical measurements to study the passivation behavior and the susceptibility to pitting corrosion for the crystalline Zr55Cu30Ni5Al10, amorphous Zr55Cu30Ni5Al10 BMG (received from Japan) and comparing the result with stainless steel and Co-Cr-Mo (F75). Investigations on corrosion properties were made in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) with and without the addition of albumin fraction V, at a room temperature of 20 °C and body temperature (37°C) and in different pH values of 7.4 and 5.2. Running the experiment in lower pH shows the behavior of the implant against any probable inflation in the patient body. The last phase was to investigate the interaction between the protein and surface of materials. For this purpose, FTIR spectroscopy and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) were carried out.

Avaliação de propriedades mecânicas e caracterização microestrutural de consolidados de Cobalto-Cromo-Molibdênio obtidos por fusão seletiva a laser e fundição de precisão / Evaluation of mechanical properties and microstructural characterization of consolidated Cobalt-Chromium-Molybdenum obtained by selective laser melting and precision casting

Este trabalho tem por objetivo estudar as propriedades mecânicas e a caracterização microestrutural de espécimes da liga de Co-Cr-Mo obtidos por manufatura aditiva fusão seletiva a laser (do inglês Selective Laser Melting SLM) e por fundição de precisão, visando a confecção de próteses odontológicas. A partir de pós de Co-Cr-Mo atomizados a gás foram realizadas as seguintes etapas: 1) investigação das propriedades físicas, químicas e térmicas dos pós atomizados em diferentes faixas granulométricas (denominadas: D1 < 15 &mu;m, D2 de 20-50 &mu;m e D3 > 75 &mu;m); 2) confecção de espécimes, em dimensões padronizadas, por meio das técnicas de consolidação; 3) caracterização dos consolidados por análise de: citotoxicidade, porosidade, difração de raios X e dilatometria; 4) caracterização mecânica de tração, flexão em três pontos, dureza (macro e micro Vickers) e caracterização microestrutural (microscopia óptica e eletrônica de varredura). De modo geral, os resultados obtidos foram: a granulometria D2 (20-50 &mu;m) é a que melhor se enquadra nas análises de empacotamento para a consolidação por meio de SLM; a biocompatibilidade das amostras obteve resultado positivo para ambas técnicas de processamento; a avaliação mecânica dos espécimes evidencia que a técnica de fusão seletiva a laser propicia propriedades mecânicas (tensão de escoamento, tensão de ruptura, tensão máxima, alongamento e dureza) superiores as obtidas pela técnica de fundição de precisão; a microestrutura obtida pelo processo SLM é composta por grãos ultrafinos e de elevada homogeneidade química. Conclui-se que, o desenvolvimento do presente estudo evidenciou que na fabricação de componentes odontológicos customizados (coroas) a técnica SLM apresenta qualidade superior quando comparada a fundição de precisão. / The objective of this work was to study the mechanical properties and microstructural characterization of specimens of the Co-Cr-Mo alloy obtained by additive manufacturing -selective laser melting (SLM) and precision casting aiming at the manufacture of dental prostheses. The following steps were carried out on Co-Cr-Mo gas-atomized powders: 1) investigation of the physical, chemical and thermal properties of atomized powders in different grain sizes (denominated: D1 <15 &mu;m, D2 20-50 &mu;m and D3 > 75 &mu;m); 2) the consolidation of standard specimens via consolidation techniques; 3) characterization of consolidated by analysis of: cytotoxicity, porosity, X ray diffraction and dilatometry; 4) mechanical characterization of tensile, 3 point bending, hardness (macro and micro Vickers) tests and microstructural characterization (optical and scanning electron microscopy). In general, the results observed were: the grain size D2 (20-50 &mu;m) is the one that best fits in the analysis of packaging, for the consolidation by SLM; the biocompatibility of the samples obtained a positive result for both processing techniques; the mechanical evaluation of the specimens shows that the SLM technique provides superior mechanical properties (yield stress, rupture stress, maximum stress, elongation and hardness), compared to those obtained by the precision casting technique; the microstructure obtained by the SLM process results in an ultrafine grains with high chemical homogeneity, differentiated by the gross dendritic microstructure in the casting process. In this way, the development of the present study evidenced superior quality in manufacturing customized dental components (copings) by SLM technique compared to precision casting.
