Abstract
As a class of advanced multifunctional structural materials, biomedical materials can be used to diagnose, remedy, repair, or replace human tissues or organs or to enhance their functions. The unique efficacy of biomedical materials cannot be replaced by drugs. According to the different activities in organisms, biomedical metal materials can be divided into two categories: nondegradable and biodegradable. At present, stainless steel, Ti and Ti alloys, and CoCr alloys are the most commonly used raw metal materials for fabricating surgical implants and orthopedic devices. In this chapter, the research progress of alloy design, typical microstructure, mechanical properties, and clinical application of commonly used medical metal materials at home and abroad are reviewed, and the latest research results of the author’s team are briefly introduced.
