RESUMO

Background: Although CP titanium and titanium alloys have been used for medical and dental applications, their high cost has not stimulated their current use. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of argon purity on the mechanical properties, microstructure and fractography of CP Ti (Grade I) and Ti-6Al- 4V cast alloys. Material and Methods: The castings for each alloy were made in a centrifugal casting machine using either a high-purity (99.999%) and or an industrial argon gas (99.98%). The ultimate tensile strength (UTS), proportional limit (PL) and elongation (EL) were evaluated in a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. The fractured specimens were embedded in phenolic resin and polished down for Vickers microhardness (VHN) measurement (100g, 15s) from 25 ?m below the cast surface, then at 50?m, 100?m, 200?m and 500?m. The microstructures of the alloys were also revealed. Scanning electron microscopy fractography was undertaken for the fractured surfaces after tensile testing. The data from the mechanical tests and hardness were subjected to a two-way ANOVA and Tukeys test (? = 0.05). Results: The mean values of UTS, PL, EL and VHN were not affected by the argon gas purity. Higher UTS, PL and VHN and lower EL was observed for Ti-6Al-4V. The microhardness values of both alloys were higher at the surface layers and it was not influenced by the argon gas purity. Conclusions: It was concluded that the industrial argon gas can be safely used to cast CP Ti and Ti-6Al- 4V, since it does not alter the mechanical properties of the studied alloys.
