TITANIUM AS A BIOMEDICAL MATERIAL FOR IMPLANTS
TITANIUM AS A BIOMEDICAL MATERIAL FOR IMPLANTS Abstract Titanium are alloy are considered as the most promising and the most attractive material in the biomedical application. As titanium has been very long favored for the biomedical application. However, for permanent implant applications the alloy has a possible toxic effect resulting from released vanadium and aluminium. For this reason, vanadium- and aluminium free alloys have been introduced for implant applications. Introduction As material used in the wide range of the application and must be exhibit and the properties. The main important of the used in the part 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 successfully as an implant. In 1932, the cobalt-based alloy named Vitallium was
