Abstract

Metallic biomaterials are used in various applications of the most important medical fields (orthopedic, dental and cardiovascular). The main metallic biomaterials are stainless steels, Co-based alloys and Ti-based alloys. Recently, titanium alloys are getting much attention for biomaterials because these types of materials have very good mechanical properties, good corrosion resistance and an excellent biocompatibility. The paper contains important information about titanium alloys used for biomedical applications, which are considered the most widely. It is very important to understand the microstructural evolution and property-microstructure relationship in implant alloys. In the present paper, authors present a short literature review on general aspects of promising biocompatible binary Ti-Mo alloys compared with CoCr and stainless steel alloys, as an alternative of the known metallic biomaterials. This alloys show superior mechanical compatibility and very good biocompatibility. The aim of this review is to highlight the mechanical properties for several types of biomaterials, their application in medical field, especially the Ti-Mo group.
