本研究主要針對Ti-10Ge合金經不同溫度之熱處理後,其顯微結構、機械特性與生物相容性進行研究。研究分析結果顯示;合金之晶粒大小隨熱處理溫度增加而變大,當Ti-10Ge合金經700°C至1000°C之熱處理後可發現一?? → (?? + Ti5Ge3) 之相變化過程。Ti-10Ge合金被熱處理於800°C後呈現相對高之微硬度約Hv 1151,且此合金試片亦被發現擁有親水性表面特徵。細胞毒性檢測亦證明經不同溫度熱處理後之Ti-10Ge合金試片並不會影響MG-63與NIH-3T3細胞之貼附與增生行為,此證據證明經不同溫度熱處理後之Ti-10Ge合金皆具有良好之生物相容性,故此Ti-10Ge合金係一有希望之可替換生醫材料可於生醫與牙科材料之應用。
In this study, the Ti-10Ge alloy was conducted to investigate its microstructure, mechanical properties and biocompatibility after heat treated with different temperatures. The analytical results indicated that the grain size of the samples increased with increasing the heat treatment temperature. As the investigated alloy underwent heat treatment at temperatures between 700°C and 1000°C, the phase transformation sequence was found to be α → (α +Ti5Ge3). The microhardness of the T10G-2 sample exhibits the maximum Hv value around 1151. Moreover, T10G-2 sample was also found to possess the hydrophilic surface. These heat treated samples did not influence the cells adhesion and proliferation behaviors of MG-63 and NIH-3T3 cells in this range of heat treatment temperature. It is evident that the heat treated Ti-10Ge samples possessed the well biocompatibility. Therefore, the Ti-10Ge alloy is a promising substitute biomaterial for biomedical and dental applications.
