Mechanical tests for Ti-based alloys as new medical materials

Abstract

Medical implants of titanium alloys are frequently used in medicine being in attention for the researchers to develop alloys with properties close to the human bone. The most important thing in development of alloys for medical apllications is to be composed from biocompatible elements to avoid to affect the health of patients. The paper contains some mechanical properties of three alloys of Ti-Mo-Zr-Ta. Results revealed that it possesses very good mechanical properties for use in medical applications.
