• Metals and alloys
• Rapid solidification
• Corrosion

The mechanical behaviour and corrosion resistance, in simulated body fluid, of novel Ti-45Nb-(7-x)Zr-12.5Ta-xFe (x = 0, 3 and 7 wt. %) alloys have been investigated. Partial substitution of Zr by Fe, a cheaper. beta-stabilizing element, allows decreasing the Young%26apos;s modulus and slightly improving the wear resistance. Moreover, moderate additions of Fe shift the corrosion potential towards more positive values, thus making these materials suitable for biomedical applications.
