Titanium alloys have been widely used as biomaterials, especially for orthopedic prostheses and dental implants, but these materials have Young's modulus three times greater than human cortical bone, because of this, new alloys are having produced with the proposes of decrease the Young's modulus to a good mechanical compatibility with the bone. Also, the oxide film that occurs naturally …
Due to excellent biocompatibility and corrosion resistance of titanium alloys, their applications in orthopedic and dental implants have gained strength since 1970. However the Young's modulus of these alloys is still about 2 to 4 times higher than the human bone. The most widely used titanium alloy for biomedical applications is Ti-6Al-4V, however, previous studies showed that vanadium c…
Due to the excellent biocompatibility coupled with good corrosion resistance, titanium alloys have found great applications for orthopaedic and dental implants since 1970. However the Young's modulus of these alloys is still about 2 to 4 times greater than the human bone, resulting in implant wear and pain to the patient. One of the titanium alloys used in orthopaedic implants in Brazil i…
