COMPARISON AND PERFORMANCE OF α, α+β AND β TITANIUM ALLOYS FOR BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS

Abstract

As implant materials, titanium and its alloys have been extensively utilized because of their exceptional mechanical properties and biocompatibility. Despite this, corporations and researchers alike have kept up their aggressive pursuit of better alloys since there are still issues that require immediate attention. One of these causes a problem with stress shielding as a noticeable variation in the elastic modulus of the implant material. Ti alloys release harmful ions after extended usage. The poor bioactivity of the Ti alloy surface slows the healing process. In order to address these problems, additional research has concentrated on developing Ti alloys for the 21st century that contain a more suitable phase and change the surface of the alloy from inherently bioinert to bioactive. This study assesses the knowledge presently existing on the biological, chemical, mechanical, and electrochemical characteristics of important [Formula: see text]-Ti alloys created in recent years with the objective to provide scientific justification for using [Formula: see text]-titanium-based alloys as a substitute for cpTi. Dental implants might be made using [Formula: see text]-Ti alloys as an alternative. The enhanced alloy qualities, which include a lower modulus of elasticity, improved strength, suitable biocompatibility, and good abrasion and excellent resistance to corrosion, offer the essential proof. Additionally, structural, chemical, and thermomechanical modifications to [Formula: see text]-Ti alloys allow for the production of materials that may be tailored to the needs of unique instances for clinical practises. By researching the paper, the performance and attributes of [Formula: see text]-titanium alloy are compared to those of other forms of titanium alloy, such as [Formula: see text] titanium alloys. To support their usage as cpTi substitutes, in vivo studies are required to assess new [Formula: see text]-titanium alloys.
