It was found that the volume fraction of the needle-like ?恁? martensite phase decreased with increasing the heat treatment temperature. When the alloy underwent heat treatment at temperatures between 700°C and 1000°C, its microstructure was essentially a (?? + ?恁?) phase structure. The hardness test results for the TTa-3 sample exhibits the maximum Hv value to those samples around Hv743. For the TTa-3 and TTa-4 samples, they exhibit a relatively hydrophilicity surfaces. The average contact angles of the TTa-3 and TTa-4 samples are 73° and 69°, respectively. Moreover, the MTT assay results also indicated that the heat treated samples were not released toxic metallic ions to cells. These results and features can be useful in further understanding the relationship between the microstructure, mechanical behavior and biocompatibility of the alloy, to development as a potential biomedical alloy.
