Titanium alloys are among the most important biomaterials due to their good biocompatibility, high corrosion resistance and favourable mechanical properties. Particular interest is directed towards β-Ti alloys, whose properties can be tailored by adding β-stabilisers such as molybdenum and chromium, with the aim of developing materials suitable for biomedical applications. This paper investigates the influence of chemical composition on the phase composition, microstructure, microhardness and corrosion properties of experimental Ti-Mo-Cr alloys produced by casting. Phase composition was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), while microstructural characteristics were analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results showed that increasing the molybdenum and chromium content contributes to the stabilisation of the β-phase and reduces the proportion of α and α″ martensite. Complete stabilisation of the β-phase was achieved in the Ti-10Mo-30Cr alloy, while the Ti-10Mo-10Cr alloy showed a dominant presence of α″ martensite. EDS analysis confirmed the segregation of alloying elements during solidification. Microhardness measurements showed an increase in hardness with increasing total alloying element content, with the highest hardness measured in the Ti-20Mo-20Cr alloy. Corrosion properties were tested using open circuit potential (OCP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Tafel polarisation methods in 0.9% NaCl (sodium chloride) medium. Among the alloys investigated, Ti-20Mo-20Cr showed a favourable overall balance of electrochemical properties, while Ti-10Mo-30Cr exhibited the lowest corrosion rate. The results suggest that a balanced ratio of molybdenum and chromium plays a key role in optimising the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion performance of Ti-Mo-Cr alloys.
