| Abstract | Elastic modulus is one of the key properties for the application of biomedical beta titanium alloy as human bone replacement because the elastic modulus of the alloy has to match that of the bone so as to avoid the stress shielding effect. Alloying of Nb is commonly used in biomedical beta titanium alloys. In the present work, the lattice parameter, free energy and elastic modulus of beta-Ti1-xNbx alloy were investigated by using first-principles method based on density functional theory. The random distribution of Nb atoms in the alloy were described by using both special quasirandom structure (SQS) and the coherent potential approximation (CPA) techniques, in combination with first principles plane-wave pseudopotential (VASP) and exact muffin-tin orbital (EMTO) methods, respectively. The results showed that the lattice constants from both VASP-SQS and EMTO-CPA calculations increase linearly with Nb content x, while the influence of the local lattice distortion is negligible. The calculations of the free energies demonstrated that EMTO-CPA predicts reasonably the phase decomposition of beta-Ti(1-x)Nb(x )at relatively low temperature whereas VASP-SQS does not, which might be ascribed to the fact that the free energy depends strongly on the detailed SQS structures. The elastic constants C-11 and C-22 calculated by using EMTO-CPA and VASP-SQS without atomic relaxation increase with Nb content whereas C-44 decreases. EMTO-CPA overestimates the elastic stability of beta-Ti1-xNbx.At- low Nb content, the local lattice distortion is abnormally large due to the lattice instability of the beta-Ti(1-x)Nb(x, )making the free energy and elastic constant against x from VASP-SQS calculations with atomic relaxation deviate significantly from the general trend. |
