Titanium has been widely used as the implant materials of joint prostheses. This paper simulates the microstructures of the hot forged titanium knee joint component by physical modeling. Ti-6Al-4V ELI were deformed by GLEEBLE 2000 hot deforma- tion simulator in compression mode to determine the hot workability, in the range of 900 to 1100℃, with the strain rates between 0.05 to 5 s~(-1). Test results derived from specimens processed by on-cooling test and on-heating test were compared, thereby estimating the effect due to thermal history. The forging process of Ti-6Al-4V ELI tibial base plate of knee joint prostheses was design based on the workability data obtained.

The role of the National Laboratories is summarized from the era of post World War II to the present time. The U.S. federal government policy for the National Laboratories and its influence on their materials science infrastructure is reviewed with respect to .determining overall research strategies, various initiatives to interact with industry (especially in recent years),building facilities that serve the nation, and developing leading edge research in the materials sciences. Despite reductions in support for research in the U.S. in recent years, and uncertainties regarding the specific policies for Research &Development (R&D) in the U.S., there are strong roles for materials research at the National Laboratories. These roles will be centered on the abilities of the National Laboratories to field multidisciplinary teams, the use of unique cutting edge facilities, a focus on areas of strength within each of the labs,increased teaming and partnerships, and the selection of motivated research areas. It is hoped that such teaming opportunities will include new alliances with China, in a manner similar, perhaps, to those recently achieved between the U.S. and other countries.
