Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The magnetic susceptibility of the Ti-Bi alloys (Bi= 6.9 to 25.3 % (mass%)) indicated about 160 to 200 ppm. Although the magnetic susceptibility of these Ti-Bi alloys decreased as the amount of Bi (magnetic susceptibility:-162 ppm) increased, the target magnetic susceptibility -9 ppm was obviously not reached. Since Ti-60Bi and Ti-70Bi alloys, which are prepared as Ti3Bi and Ti2Bi, which are intermetallic compounds of Ti-Bi alloy, are very brittle and the magnetic susceptibility is also positive. Therefore precipitation Ti3Bi and Ti2Bi of Ti-Bi is considered to be disadvantageous for non-magnetic and low elastic modulus of Ti-Bi alloy.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
近年の磁気共鳴画像法(MRI)強磁場化に伴う金属アーチファクトの問題が深刻化していることから、アーチファクトフリー合金の需要は年々高まっている。よって、MRIアーチファクトフリー合金の研究は今後も継続して行うべき研究であると考えられる。本研究ではTiに反磁性元素Biを添加した非磁性Ti合金の開発を目指していたが、目標としていた非磁性と低弾性率を達成することができなかった。しかし、Ti-Bi合金の基礎データの蓄積には貢献できたと考えられる。
