Ti-Based Biomedical Alloys

Abstract

Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are currently getting much attention for structural biomaterials, because they are much advantageous as compared with other metallic biomaterials such as biomedical stainless steels and Co-based alloys, and their practical uses in implant devices are widely spreading. In this paper, types of Ti alloys for biomedical applications are first described. Pure Ti, (α + β)-type, and β-type Ti alloys for biomedical applications including general β-type Ti alloys, superelastic and shape-memory β-type Ti alloys, Young’s modulus self-adjustable β-type Ti alloys, and β-type Ti alloys for reconstructive implants are then described.
