description The present study investigates the anisotropic microstructure, nanomechanical and corrosion behavior of Ti–13Nb–13Zr biomedical alloys, which were fabricated using the direct energy deposition (DED) method. The microstructure of the as-deposited material was studied using a field-emission scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). We found anisotropic mechanical behavior using nanoindentation from strain rate sensitivity and creep tests. For the maximum load of 50 mN, the x-y plane (normal to the building direction) shows better indentation hardness and lower strain rate sensitivity value (0.014) compared to the x-z plane (0.022) (parallel to the building direction). The difference in the indentation hardness was mainly attributed to the smaller equiaxed prior-β grains and finer α’ martensitic laths on the x-y plane. In terms of creep behavior, the x-y planes show better creep strength than the x-z plane. Meanwhile, both planes show a very high creep exponent, which signifies a similar creep mechanism, i.e., dislocation based. Moreover, we further found the anisotropic corrosion behavior using electrochemical tests. Corrosion results reveal that the x-y plane is more corrosion-resistant than the x-z plane. In summary, the x-y plane of the direct energy deposited Ti–13Nb–13Zr alloy possesses better strength and corrosion resistance due to its finer microstructure.
