The following article proposes materials based on titanium with vital elements prepared by combined powder metallurgy and arc melting methods. Four compositions of Ti-28Ta-9Nb, Ti-28Ta-19Nb, Ti-28Ta-9Zr and Ti-28Ta-19Zr (wt.%) have been prepared. The tested material was thoroughly analyzed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Qualitative phase analysis using X-ray diffraction showed the presence of two phases, α' and β titanium. In addition, a microhardness test was conducted, and the material was characterized in terms of corrosion properties. It was found that the corrosion resistance decreases with an increase of the β phase presence.}, type={Article}, title={Synthesis of Ti-Nb-Zr Alloys Combined Powder Metallurgy and Arc Melting Methods}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/128446/PDF/AMM-2023-3-37-Matula.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2023.145482}, keywords={Titanium-based alloys, biomaterials, arc-melting, structure, corrosion}, }
