Alloys for implant devices require improved strength but a reduced Young’s modulus, in order to become mechanically more compatible with adjacent bone tissues. In this study, a new metastableβ-type titanium alloy, Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr (wt pct), was subjected to aging treatment to produce different microstructures, and the resulting mechanical properties, including the Young’s modulus, were measured. The Young’s modulus of this alloy is found to be sensitive to microstructures generated by various heat treatments. For microstructures varying from (α+β) to (α+β+ω) and (β+ω), the Young’s modulus increases with an accompanying increase in tensile strength and hardness, but decreases in ductility. The (β+ω) microstructure has a low strength, high modulus, and poor ductility and cannot be used for biomedical applications. For an (α+β) microstructure, the volume fraction of the phases is shown to be the main factor that determines the mechanical properties.
