To investigate the influences of repeated casting on the mechanical properties of CP Ti ceramic alloy.
CP Ti ceramic alloy samples were prepared and recast 3 times without adding any new CP Ti ceramic alloy. The physical properties of each specimen were measured. SPPPSS13.0 software package was used for statistical analysis.
No significant difference was found on the flexural strength of the CP Ti ceramic alloys that had been cast 2 or 3 times, compared with that of the alloys being cast only 1 time (P>0.05). However, the flexural modulus, tensile strength, 0.2% yield strength and surface microhardness of the CP Ti alloys being cast 2 or 3 times were significantly higher than those of the alloys being cast only 1 time (P<0.05). Elongation of the CP Ti alloys being cast 2 or 3 times was significantly lower than that of the alloys being cast only 1 time (P<0.05).
Recasting may cause decreases in tensile properties of CP Ti ceramic alloy.
