Abstract
Bending property of Ti–Ni–Cu alloy castings was investigated in a three-point bending test for orthodontic application in relation to the phase transformation. The compositions of the alloys were Ti–50.8Ni and Ti–40.8Ni–10.0Cu (mol %), and four cross-sectional shapes of the specimens were selected. Heat treatment was performed at 713, 753 or 793 K for 1.8 ks. The bending load changed by the cross-sectional size and shape mainly because of the difference in the moment of inertia of area, but the load–deflection relation did not differ proportionally in the unloading process. The difference between the load values in the loading and the unloading processes was relatively small for Ti–Ni–Cu alloy. With respect to the residual deflection, there was no significant difference between Ti–Ni and Ti–Ni–Cu alloys with the same treatment condition. The load values in the loading and the unloading processes decreased by each heat treatment for Ti–Ni alloy; however, the decrease in the load values for Ti–Ni–Cu alloy was not distinct. It is proved that Ti–Ni–Cu alloy castings produce effective orthodontic force as well as stable low residual deflection, which is likely to be caused by the high and sharp thermal peaks during phase transformation.
