Les implants de corps humain biocompatibles à base de Ti de faible module de Young et sans élèments toxiques sont développés dans deux régimes de matériaux, les alliags cristallins à base de Ti-Nb(-Sn) et les alliages amorphes à base de Ti -Fe -Si. Une série d'alliages à base de Ti-Nb(-Sn) a été synthétisée par une aspiration coulée par la moule de cuivre et soumis à différents traitements thermiques (refroidissement du four ou trempe à l'eau). La microstructure, les propriétés thermiques et mécaniques des échantillons traités telles que la coulée et la chaleur ont été étudiées. On montre que l'addition de Sn augmente la stabilité de la phase β. Les modules de Young de ces alliages ont été également mesurés avec des mesures par ultrasons. Les alliages Ti74Nb26 trempés à l'eau avaient le plus faible module de Young. L'addition de Sn a peu d'impact sur le module de Young des alliages Ti-Nb. Les alliages amorphes à base de Ti- Fe-Si ont été synthétisés par filage à l'état fondu. La capacité de formation des verres, les propriétés thermiques et les propriétés de corrosion des alliages à base de Ti- Fe-Si ont été étudiées. La composition vitreuse a été conçue en fonction de la règle de l'eutectique profond. On a constaté que la région la plus proche du point eutectique ternaire(Ti65Fe30Si5) est une région quasi-cristalline icosaédrique, tandis que le côté plus raide (Si côté riche) de ce point eutectique ternaire est la région de formation de verre. L'effet de L'addition élémentaire mineur (Ge, Pd, Zr) sur la capacité de formation de verre des alliages à base de Ti- Fe-Si a été également étudié. L'observation in situ d'amorphisation des alliages vitreux Ti40Zr10Cu34Pd14Sn2 en faisceau synchrotron a été effectuée. L'alliage a été vitrifié avec succès dans un appareil à sustentation aérodynamique. / The Ti-based biocompatible human body implants of low Young's modulus and without toxic elements are developed in two regime of materials, crystalline Ti-Nb(-Sn) based alloys and amorphous Ti-Fe-Si based alloys. A series of Ti-Nb(-Sn) alloys were synthesized by copper mould suction casting and subjected to different heat treatments (furnace cooling or water quenching). The microstructure, thermal and mechanical properties of the as-cast and heat treated samples were investigated. It is shown that the addition of Sn increases the stability of the β phase. The Young's moduli of these alloys were also measured by ultrasonic measurements. Water-quenched Ti74Nb26 alloy was found to exhibits the lowest Young's modulus. Sn addition has little impact on the Young's moduli of the TiNb alloys. The Ti-Fe-Si based amorphous alloys were synthesized by melt spinning. The glass forming ability, thermal properties and corrosion properties of Ti-Fe-Si based alloys were investigated. The glassy compositions were designed according to the deep eutectic rule. It was found that the region near ternary eutectic point (Ti65Fe30Si5) is an icosahedral quasicrystal forming region, whereas the steeper side (Si rich side) of this ternary eutectic point is the glass forming region. Effect of minor elemental addition (Ge, Pd, Zr) on glass forming ability of the Ti-Fe-Si based alloys was also studied. The in situ observation of amorphization of Ti40Zr10Cu34Pd14Sn2 glassy alloy in synchrotron beam was conducted. The alloy was successfully vitrified in an aerodynamic levitation apparatus.

Currently the ISO 5832-1 steel (ASTM F 138) is the most used in the manufacture of orthopedic prosthesis, especially the temporary ones. However, because it is susceptible to localized corrosion when in contact with human tissue, it is being gradually replaced by austenitic stainless steel of low carbon and high nitrogen called ISO 5832-9. The same is already used extensively in Europe and the United States, while in Brazil it's use is more recent and smaller scale. This work investigates the behavior of dynamic recrystallization in an ISO 5832-9 steel through hot torsion tests and optical microscopy, for different conditions of temperature, strain and strain rate. It was found through the plastic flow curves of the studied material crystallizes dynamically and that the high value of its apparent activation energy for deformation can be attributed to the presence of a large amount of precipitated particles and nitrogen dissolved in the matrix. Micrographs confirmed that tests carried out at low temperatures reveal a strong retardation of dynamic recrystallization. Moreover, the presence of serrated grain boundaries and nucleation of new grains in the old deformed grain boundaries, are strong indications that the recrystallization occurred by a necklace mechanism. The behavior of the average recrystallized grain size, DDRX, with temperature resembles the behavior of the austenitic grain growth in microalloyed steels. The presence of a minimum in the behavior of DDRX with the strain rate can be attributed to a minimum strain rate required to cause the greatest amount of dynamics precipitation. / Os aços inoxidáveis austeníticos possuem um baixo valor econômico quando comparados ao titânio e suas ligas, considerados os mais resistentes à corrosão em meio biológico, e há mais de cinquenta anos são amplamente utilizados na confecção de implantes ortopédicos, em especial no serviço de saúde pública. Atualmente o aço ISO 5832-1 (ASTM F 138) é o mais utilizado na confecção de próteses ortopédicas, principalmente as temporárias. Entretanto, devido o mesmo ser suscetível à corrosão localizada quando em contato com tecido humano, ele está sendo gradativamente substituído pelo aço inoxidável austenítico de baixo teor de carbono e alto teor de nitrogênio denominado de ISO 5832-9. O mesmo já é utilizado em larga escala na Europa e nos Estados Unidos, enquanto no Brasil a sua utilização é mais recente e em menor escala. Este trabalho investiga o comportamento da recristalização dinâmica em um aço ISO 5832-9, através de ensaios de torção a quente e microscopia ótica, para diferentes condições de temperatura, deformação e taxa de deformação. Foi constatado através das curvas de escoamento plástico que o material estudado recristaliza dinamicamente e, que o alto valor da sua energia de ativação aparente para a deformação pode ser atribuído à presença de uma grande quantidade de partículas de precipitados e ao nitrogênio em solução na matriz. Micrografias confirmam que ensaios realizados a baixas temperaturas revelam um forte retardamento da recristalização dinâmica. Além disso, a presença de contornos de grão serrilhados e nucleação de novos grãos nos antigos contornos de grãos deformados, são fortes indícios de que a recristalização ocorreu por mecanismo colar. O comportamento do tamanho de grão médio recristalizado, DDRX, com a temperatura, se assemelha ao comportamento do crescimento de grão austeníticos de aços microligados. A presença de um mínimo no comportamento do DDRX com a taxa de deformação pode ser atribuído a uma taxa de deformação mínima necessária para que ocorra a maior quantidade de precipitação dinâmica.
