Abstract
There is a possibility for β-type Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr (TNTZ) to exhibit super-elastic characteristics, which is advantageous for biomedical applications such as orthodontic wires. Thermomechanical treatments are expected to induce super-elastic characteristics in β-type titanium alloys. Therefore, TNTZ specimens were subjected to various thermomechanical treatments, including solution treatments and severe cold rolling, wherein the second solution treatment temperature, second solution treatment time, and reduction ratio of cold rolling were varied in order to investigate the elastic deformation characteristics.
