Abstract
The aim of this work is the design of an innovative Ti6Al4V-ZrO2 metal-ceramic functionally graded material (FGM) in order to obtain a new material which can surpass the possibility of ions release and also present better aesthetical properties than conventional titanium solutions. In this study, the influence of Zirconia (ZrO2) volume fraction as reinforcement, when regarding mechanical properties of the Ti6Al4V-ZrO2 composites was investigated. For this purpose, different ZrO2 reinforced titanium (Ti6Al4V) composites with different volumes % of ZrO2 were produced by powder metallurgy method. The micro structural characterization of composites was carried out by means of SEM. EDS and XRD analyses were performed in order to investigate the Ti6Al4V/ZrO2 interface reaction. The obtained results of Ti6Al4V-ZrO2 composites were evaluated in order to assess the optimum ZrO2 volume fraction when regarding mechanical properties.
