THE INVESTIGATION OF MICROSTRUCTURE AND HARDNESS PROPERTIES OF ALLOYS PRODUCED BY INVESTMENT CASTING METHOD

In this study, reducibility of Ti6Al4V alloy and 316L stainless steel materials which are from the group of metallic biomaterials with their high mechanical and biocompatibility properties by investment casting method were investigated. Experimental studies showed Ti6Al4V and 316L alloys can be produced by investment casting method. Depending on the microstructure, hardness values constitute an important step of the properties that can be developed and controlled. To this end, Microstructure and hardness properties of Ti6Al4V alloy and 316L stainless steel materials produced by investment casting method were investigated
