Abstract

Biomaterials play a crucial role in medical science to enhance the quality of human life. These materials help to repair or replace the failed tissues of the human body. A biomaterial should be biocompatible in service and affordable to the needy. Ti6Al4V is the commonly used biomaterial used for the replacement of different suffered tissue. But due to the release of Aluminium and vanadium ion research has been going on to remove this difficulty by adding other elements like Niobium (Nb), Tantalum (Ta), Zirconium (Zr) and Molybdinum (Mo) etc. Various traditional or advanced manufacturing of bio-metallic implants demands a large amount of material, energy, and manufacturing time. Microwave material processing improves the material yield by reducing energy consumption and shop-floor time without compromising product quality. It offers fast product development, better mechanical properties with low cost, and reduced manufacturing time. Recently microwave processing of biomaterial has attracted researchers to develop economical bioimplants. This review article explored the issues related to processing bio-metallic titanium and titanium alloys using microwave energy.
