The composition of Ti-30Nb-10Ta-5Zr, which is simplified that of the Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr alloy developed for biomedical applications, was selected, and then Nb content in the basic composition was varied from 20 to 35%. The deformation mechanisms of such Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr system alloys were investigated by loading-unloading tensile tests and characterizing deformed microstructures. The behavior of unloading and reloading of the stress-strain curves up to strain about 2% of Ti-20Nb-10Ta-5Zr and Ti-25Nb-10Ta-5Zr alloys is similar to that obtained in metastable beta type titanium alloys where the stress induced martensite transformation occurs. This indicates that the stress and strain induced martensite transformation occurred in these alloys. Furthermore, the elastic deformation of Ti-30Nb-10Ta-5Zr alloy disobeys Hooke's law. However, the behavior of stress or strain-induced martensite transformation does not recognized in the stress-strain curve up to strain about 2% of this alloy. The main deformation mechanism up to fracture of Ti-20Nb-10Ta-5Zr alloy, Ti-25Nb-10Ta-5Zr alloy and Ti-35Nb-10Ta-5Zr alloy is identified as the deformation - induced martensite transformation of phase beta to alpha" phase, deformation-induced martensite transformation of beta phase to alpha" phase and deformation twin, and slip, respectively. The deformation mechanisms for Ti-30Nb-10Ta-5Zr alloy are not explained by slip, deformation twining and deformation-induced martensite transformation. However, the super elastic behavior observed in this alloy is expected to occur without deformation-induced martensite transformation.
