Mechanical properties and biocompatibility in TiNbTaZrMo HEAs [1]
A novel equiatomic TiNbTaZrMo high-entropy alloy (HEA) was developed as a new metallic biomaterial. The constituent elements of the HEA were biocomparable, and the HEA was designed based on parameters for predicting solid solution phase in complex, concentrated alloys (CCAs). The bcc solid solution phases with the different lattice constants were obtained in as-cast and annealed states. The HEA showed considerable strength with deformability and superior biocompatibility comparable to pure Ti [1].
