| Итог: | Titanium alloys are in demand for various biomedical applications and the most popular among them being, Ti-6Al-4V. Hence, in this study, Ti-6Al-7Nb are fabricated through the route of mechanical milling using different sintering temperatures. X-ray diffraction and hardness tests were conducted to characterize the developed sams to evaluate the effect of sintering temperatures on the structural and mechanical properties. It is observed that the sams sintered at a temperature of 1250 degrees C had the smallest crystallite and pore size, with enhanced relative density and mechanical properties. Tribological tests were conducted at varying normal loads to characterize the wear and frictional behaviour and showed that the sams sintered at 1250 degrees C presented the lowest friction coefficient and wear rate.
