Afterwards, the samples were sintered at different temperatures (950, 1050, 1150 and 1250 °C). Microhardness, density, crystallite size as well as microstrain of the sintered samples were measured and analyzed. Wear characteristics in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution was tested under different applied loads of 2 N, 10 N, and 20 N, respectively. The results indicated that the crystallite size continuously decreases with increasing sintering temperature and reaches the lowest value of 31.3 nm at 1250 °C. The relative density of the sample sintered at 1250 °C is 98.0%. Moreover, the higher sintering temperatures lead to the higher relative density and the increase in hardness and young’s modulus of the sample. At the same time the friction coefficient and wear rate were lower for the samples sintered at 1250 °C. This improvement in friction and wear resistance is attributed to the grain size refinement. Ti–Ni sintered at 1250 °C showed good tribological performance under all test conditions.

Hence, in this study, Ti–6Al–7Nb are fabricated through the route of mechanical milling using different sintering temperatures. X-ray diffraction and hardness tests were conducted to characterize the developed sams to evaluate the effect of sintering temperatures on the structural and mechanical properties. It is observed that the sams sintered at a temperature of 1250 °C had the smallest crystallite and pore size, with enhanced relative density and mechanical properties. Tribological tests were conducted at varying normal loads to characterize the wear and frictional behaviour and showed that the sams sintered at 1250 °C presented the lowest friction coefficient and wear rate.

The morphological and structural characteristics of as-prepared samples were investigated by several methods. Wear tests were conducted using a ball-on-plate type oscillating tribometer under different applied loads (2, 10, and 20 N). The morphological characterization indicated that the mean pore and crystallite size continuously decreased with increasing sintering temperature to reach lowest values of 40 nm and 38 nm at 1250 °C, respectively. The relative density of the 1250 °C sintered sample was as high as 98.7%. Moreover, the higher sintering temperature resulted in higher relative density and closed porosity of the sample. Both the friction coefficient and wear rate were lower in the sample sintered at 1250 °C as compared to other samples. This enhancement in tribological properties was attributed to a closed porosity.
