Improved performance of Ti6Al4V alloy in Biomedical applications - Review.

Abstract

Abstract The advantages of Ti6Al4v alloy are high strength, low density, and And the advantage of it being non-toxic and the human body does not reject it. Because of these properties, Ti6Al4v are distinguished by their unique properties. To manufacture high strength and lightweight components for biomedical applications, Ti6Al4v alloy is suitable for purpose because of its properties necessary for manufacture. The properties of TiAl4v alloy about its mechanical properties, its corrosion resistance, wear testing, biocompatibility, and bone fusion in biomedical applications, are discussed in the paper. Although TiAl4v alloy has desirable properties, studies have proven to release the two elements of aluminum and vanadium. These two elements are toxic and affect the biocompatibility of Ti6Al4v despite its unique properties. To avoid that, researchers are looking for a way to solve the problem by addition alloy elements that are less toxic and have good mechanical properties. Examples of these elements are zirconium and tantalum..
