Purpose: The paper attempts to improve the properties of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy by the using of the injection casting method with rapid cooling. The comparison of the structure and properties of the Ti6Al4V titanium alloy formed by two methods: the injection casting under pressure in two variants under air and vacuum with using a rapid cooling and purchased commercially were carried out. Design/methodology/approach: Samples were produced by two methods: unconventional casting by injection under pressure of gas or vacuum to copper mold with rapid cooling, and a traditional method for the production of titanium alloys in a form of a rod. To achieve the pursued objective the following tests were performed: microstructural observations – light microscope and SEM, corrosion resistance tests, microhardness tests – Vickers method. Findings: Microstructural observations showed that the Ti6Al4V titanium alloy produced by injection casting method under pressure with rapid cooling is able to produce extremely fine-grained layer and ductile core. That distribution of structures significantly affect on the improvement of a number of properties compared to commercially produced material. Moreover, during process increased corrosion resistance was observed. Those properties have a significant impact on the possibility of using that type of a production method and material in many areas of materials science related with medicine. Research limitations/implications: In the framework of the studies, tests using living tissues, which would allow to determine whether the produced material is biocompatible and does not cause inflammation, have not been conducted. Practical implications: The application of injection casting carries some complications, which mainly relate to quartz capillary where ingot is melted. Titanium as a reactive element strongly absorbs silicon out of the capillary causing changes in the chemical composition in the surface layer of the final element. Further studies will be attempted to use a different type of material wherein the alloy will be melted. Originality/value: The paper presents the improvement of the properties of materials produced under pressure by casting injection, compared to the same material produced by a commercial method.

Purpose: The paper attempts to improve the properties of titanium Grade 2 by the use of the injection casting method with rapid cooling. Design/methodology/approach: Microstructural observations by using an optical microscope, microhardness studies, X-ray qualitative analysis as well as corrosion resistance tests were carried out. Corrosion resistance tests were conducted by measuring the open circuit potential and measuring the resistance to corrosion by the method of anodic polarization curves in a potential range close to the corrosion potential. Findings: Studies have shown that the application of the abovementioned preparation method affect the microstructure of the finished item. There has been a fragmentation of the structure and the formation of dendrites. Those changes have improved corrosion resistance and increase microhardness. There were no changes in the phase composition. Research limitations/implications: Studies were performed only in the Ringer's solution indicating a potential use of this material as a biomaterial. Further research should be conducted in more aggressive environments especially for the energy industry and chemical industry. Practical implications: The application of injection casting carries some complications, which mainly relate to quartz capillary where ingot is melted. Titanium as a reactive element strongly absorbs silicon out of the capillary causing changes in the chemical composition in the surface layer of the final element. The addition of silicon in the surface layer may affect on obtained results. Originality/value: Using the production method indicates its use in future in many industries.
From the time when Per-Ingvar Brånemark discovered oseointegration properties of titanium in 1952 a large-scale studies on the issue of usability this metal in surgery were started. Thanks to the parallel research conducted on independent centers managed to get a number of metal alloys which were implanted into the human body in the form of implants. Among the alloys produced appeared alloy of aluminum and vanadium Ti6Al4V. The mechanical properties, high biocompatibility, low density and for this relatively low-cost, caused that the alloy began to be used as a material for biomedical applications. In the present article analyzed the possibility of modifying the properties of the alloy, by choosing another method of producing – method of injection casting with suction. A comparative analysis of the input material - the alloy commercially produced in the form of a rod of the same material melted by injection under vacuum and in air were carried out. The studies results indicate that using method of injection casting with suction to produce the final item influence on significant improvement in mechanical properties as a result of fragmentation of the grains at the element surface. The mechanical properties play a key role in a tissue-implant-bone system.

Od 1952roku, kiedy to Per-Ingvar Brånemark odkrył osteointegracyjne właściwości tytanu, rozpoczęto w znacznym stopniu badania w kwestii przydatności tego metalu w chirurgii. Poprzez badania prowadzone przez kilka niezależnych ośrodków naukowo - badawczych w organizm człowiek wszczepiono szereg stopów metali w postaci implantów. Wśród wszczepianych stopów pojawił się Ti6Al4V, którego charakteryzują bardzo dobre właściwości mechaniczne, wysoka zgodność biologiczna, niska gęstość przy stosunkowo niskiej cenie. Spowodowało to, że stop ten zaczął być używany jako materiał do zastosowań biomedycznych. W niniejszym artykule przeanalizowano możliwość modyfikowania właściwości stopu, poprzez zmianę metody wytwarzania, wtłaczania w atmosferze próżni lub w powietrzu. Przeprowadzono analizę porównawczą materiału wyjściowego - stopu, jaki wytwarza się komercyjnie w przemyśle w postaci prętów, a materiału uzyskanego metodą wtłaczania z zastosowaniem próżni oraz w powietrzu. Wyniki badań wykazują, że zastosowanie metody wtłaczania wpływa na znaczącą poprawę właściwości mechanicznych w wyniku rozdrobnienia ziaren na powierzchni elementu. Właściwości mechaniczne odgrywają istotną rolę w połączeniach: tkanka - implant - kość.
The material subject to investigation was two commercial alloys of cobalt CoCrW (No. 27 and 28) used in prosthodontics. The scope of research included performing an analysis of microstructure and functional properties (microhardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance), as well as dilatometric tests. The examined alloys were characterized by diverse properties, which was considerably influenced by the morphology of precipitates in these materials. Alloy No. 27 has a higher corrosion resistance, whereas alloy No. 28 shows higher microhardness, better wear resistance and higher coefficient of linear expansion. Lower value of the expansion coefficient indicates less probability of initiation of a crack in the facing ceramic material.

Badaniu poddano dwa komercyjne stopy kobaltu CoCrW (nr 27 i 28) stosowane w protetyce stomatologicznej. Zakres badań obejmował przeprowadzenie analizy mikrostrukturalnej, właściwości użytkowych (mikrotwardość, odporność na ścieranie i odporność korozyjna) oraz badania dylatometryczne. Badane stopy charakteryzowały się zróżnicowanymi właściwościami na co zasadniczy wpływ miała morfologia wydzieleń w tych materiałach. Stop nr 27 posiada wyższą odporność korozyjną natomiast stop nr 28 wykazuje: wyższą mikrotwardość, lepszą odporność na ścieranie oraz niższy współczynnik rozszerzalności liniowej. Niższa wartość współczynnika rozszerzalności liniowej wskazuje na mniejsze prawdopodobieństwo inicjacji pęknięcia licującego materiału ceramicznego.

W ramach pracy próbki ze stopu tytanu Ti6Al4V ELI poddano procesom utleniania chemicznego, termicznego i elektrochemicznego (anodowego). W celu określenia wpływu różnego rodzaju utleniania na występujące fazy, dokonano badania składu fazowego metodą dyfrakcji rentgenowskiej przed i po procesach utleniania. Ponadto przeprowadzono obserwację mikrostruktur oraz wykonano badania geometrii powierzchni - chropowatości. W wyniku zastosowania utleniania stopu tytanu wytworzono zmodyfikowaną warstwę tlenków o szczególnych, z punktu widzenia zastosowania w medycynie własnościach użytkowych. Z przeprowadzonych badań wynika, że wariant zastosowanego utleniania (chemiczne, termiczne i elektrochemiczne) wpływa na rodzaj uzyskanych faz na powierzchni stopu tytanu. Dodatkowo przeprowadzone badania geometrii powierzchni - chropowatości wykazały, że rodzaj zastosowanego utleniania wpływa na stopień rozwinięcia powierzchni, co ma znaczenie przy stosowaniu tego rodzaju materiałów w implantologii.

This study presents the results obtained after the processes of chemical, thermal and electrochemical (anode) oxidation of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V ELI. In order to determine the effect of different types of oxidation on individual phases, the authors examined phase composition by means of the method of X-ray diffraction before and after the oxidation processes. Furthermore, the microstructure examinations and surface geometry (roughness) testing were also carried out. Oxidation of titanium alloys caused formation of a modified layer of oxides with specific functional properties that make these materials useful for medical applications. The study showed that the variant of oxidation (chemical, thermal or electrochemical) impacts on the type of phases obtained on titanium surface. The examinations of surface geometry (roughness) demonstrated that the type of oxidation used impacts on the degree of surface development, which is important when using these materials in implantology.
