Advances in β-titanium Alloys for Applications in the Biomedical Fields
摘要
The advances in biocompatibility, structural properties, applicationApplication and processingProcessing techniques ofBeta (β)-titanium alloys betaBeta (β)-titanium alloysTitanium alloy are presented. These alloysAlloy are promising future biomedicalBiomedical alloysAlloy due to their low modulus of elasticityModulus of elasticity (MOE), andNon-toxic non-toxicToxic elements. The biocompatibility of these alloysAlloy exhibits a low modulus of elastic (MOE) closer to that of human boneHuman bone ~ 30 GPa. On one hand, the best mechanical propertiesMechanical properties and performancePerformance of the alloysAlloy is found in porousPorous materials. Particularly, porousPorous Ti-24Nb, Ti-35Nb and Ti-42Nb alloysAlloy exhibit reduced hardnessHardness with elastic modulusElastic modulus values of 11, 18.0 and 11.2 GPa, respectively. Furthermore, advanced processes such as additive manufacturingManufacturing including selective laserLaser manufacturingManufacturing (SLM)Selective laser manufacturing (SLM) and directed energyEnergy depositionDeposition (DED)Direct energy deposition (DED) are gaining traction in the manufacturingManufacturing industryIndustry.
