There is also a great demand for orthopedic prostheses due to accidents. The metallic materials commonly used in the manufacture of prostheses are divided into three groups: stainless steel, Co-based alloys and Ti-based alloys. Among these three groups, the most widely used as a biomaterial are the Ti-based alloys, since they have excellent biocompatibility and high corrosion resistance. The most used Ti-based alloy for biological applications is the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, but some studies associate the V to the cytotoxic effects and adverse reactions in tissues, while Al has been associated with neurological disorders. To solve this problem, new Ti-based alloys that have in their composition elements such as Nb, Ta, Zr, Fe and Mo are being researched.

The aim of this study is to investigate the bulk glass forming ability (BGFA) of Ti-based alloy systems. These investigations were carried out in two main parts that are complementary to each other: theoretical and experimental. For theoretical studies, which are based on electronic theory of alloys in pseudopotential approximation, Ti-Zr, Ti-Co and Ti-Cu alloys were chosen as the binary systems. Alloying element additions were performed to each binary for the investigation of the BGFA of multicomponent Ti-based alloys. Among the three studied binary systems, Ti-Cu was found to exhibit better BGFA, and Mn, Al and Ni elements were found to be suitable for improving the BGFA of Ti-Cu binary alloy system. BGFA of Ti-Cu binary and Ti-Cu-(Mn, Al, Ni) multicomponent alloys were investigated with the experimental studies that were carried out with performing arc melting and centrifugal casting operations. The characterizations of these alloys were done with scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. Ti60Cu35Mn5, Ti60Cu35Al5 and Ti60Cu35Ni5 alloys were produced and characterized as examples for ternary systems. Among them, Ti60Cu35Mn5 system was found to have better indications regarding to BGFA. Therefore, it was chosen as the main composition and multicomponent alloys of Ti59Cu35Mn5Al1, Ti59Cu35Mn5Ni1 and Ti58Cu35Mn5Al1Ni1 were synthesized and characterized.

Amorphous and bulk amorphous metallic alloys are an intriguing class of structural materials and possess a range of interesting properties, including near theoretical strength, high hardness, extremely low damping characteristics, excellent wear properties, high corrosion resistance, low shrinkage during cooling and almost perfect as-cast surfaces with good potential for forming and shaping. In this study, new Ti-based bulk amorphous alloys are tried to be modeled and synthesized. For that purpose, electronic theory of alloys in the pseudo potential approximation was used as a tool for understanding the theory lying beneath the bulk glass forming ability (BGFA). The results from this approach were evaluated both separately and together with the other theories supposed by our colleagues. Glass forming parameters of ordering energy, &amp / #916 / HM, viscosity, mismatch entropy, Rc was calculated for various Ti-based binary and ternary and the change in these parameters in both cases was evaluated. The results of the theoretical calculations of glass forming parameters has shown good relation with the literature data that the predicted alloying elements, i.e. Mo, Hf, Zr, B, Fe, Sn, and Be, to increase GFA for Ti2Ni binary system were generally used in the production of Ti-based bulk amorphous alloys. In the second part of this thesis, new Ti-based compositions with high GFA were tried to be synthesized with light of these results and encouraging conclusions were drawn. The production of these alloys were made with centrifugal casting method which is relatively a new technique for producing such alloys and the characterization of these alloys were made with metallographic, X-ray and thermal means.

Das Anwendungsfeld der Luft- und Raumfahrtindustrie kennzeichnet sich durch eine konstante Nachfrage nach Materialien mit einer hohen spezifischen Festigkeit. Die metastabile Beta-Titanlegierung Ti-5553 ist ein aussichtsreicher Werkstoffkandidat, um der Forderung nach geringer Dichte bei gleichzeitig hoher Festigkeit gerecht zu werden. Bereits jetzt findet er Anwendung in strukturell-belasteten Bereichen. Der Herstellungsprozess für die dafür verwendeten Bauteile ist charakterisiert durch einen oftmals materialintensiven Zerspanungsprozess zur Erzeugung der gewünschten Geometrie und eine mehrstufige und zeitintensive Wärmebehandlung zur Einstellung des gewünschten Gefüges sowie den damit verbundenen Eigenschaften. Durch den Einsatz des selektiven Laserschmelzens (SLM) als Vertreter der additiven Fertigungsverfahren sollen diese zwei Problemstellungen adressiert werden. Einerseits wäre es möglich, durch den schichtweisen Aufbau der Bauteile, komplexe Geometrien endkonturnah zu fertigen und damit den Zerspanungsprozess zu minimieren. Andererseits können durch die im SLM-Prozess auftretenden hohen Erstarrungsraten metastabile Gefügezustände geschaffen werden. Daher besteht großes Interesse daran, die Verknüpfung von Prozessbedingungen und dem entstehenden Gefüge zu untersuchen und zu verstehen. Das Prozessieren und Optimieren der Legierung Ti-5553 auf das Verfahren des selektiven Laserschmelzens stellen den Ausgangspunkt dieser Arbeit dar. Durch die anschließende Variation der Belichtungsstrategie beziehungsweise der Anwendung einer Substratheizung konnten Korngröße sowie Textur respektive Phasenbildung im Gefüge beeinflusst werden. Somit war es möglich das Potenzial des selektiven Laserschmelzens aufzuzeigen, indem durch Prozessparameter Bauteileigenschaften während des Herstellungsprozesses aktiv beeinflusst werden. Die Analyse der hergestellten Proben umfasste eine tief greifende Gefügeanalyse sowie die Untersuchung der mechanischen Eigenschaften.
