Abstract EN:

This PhD aims at optimizing the microstructure of the usual TA6V alloy by using metastable phases. These new microstructures, obtained by thermal treatments, permit to improve the mechanical strength (static but also the fatigue ones) without modifying the biocompatibility.

Abstract FR:

Le travail consiste en l'optimisation de la microstructure d'un alliage usuel TA6V par obtention de phases métastables. Ces nouvelles microstructures, obtenues par traitements thermiques, permettent d'améliorer la tenue mécanique (statique et en fatigue) de l'alliage sans pour autant changer la biocompatibilité.
