FACTS ABOUT TITANIUM AND ITS ALLOYS (II)

Biomedical Applications of Titanium and its Alloys

Materials used for biomedical applications cover a wide spectrum and must exhibit specific properties. The most important property of materials used for fabricating implants is biocompatibility, followed by corrosion resistance. The main metallic biomaterials are stainless steels, cobalt alloy, and titanium and titanium alloys. Stainless steel was the first metallic biomaterial used successfull...

AccucheckInform II: About Its Accuracy and Precision

Titanium Alloys

Although originally discovered in the 18th century [1], the titanium industry did not experience any significant advancement until the middle of the 20th century through the development of the gas turbine engine [2]. Since then, the aerospace sector has dominated worldwide titanium use with applications in both engines and airframe structures [3]. The highly desirable combination of properties,...
