Alloy Materials for Biomedical Applications
Metals and alloys have widespread use as biomedical materials for replacing dysfunctional hard tissues. The demand for development of alloy materials that fulfill all the requirements of biomedical alloys regarding mechanical, chemical, and biological characteristics is getting higher fast with increasing elderly population. Representative employed metallic materials are 316L stainless steel, cobalt (Co)‐based alloys, and titanium (Ti) alloys. New nickel‐free low modulus Ti alloys, zirconium alloys, biodegradable alloys, and niobium and tantalum alloys are proving very interesting to biomedical applications and are still under development nowadays. This chapter describes the commonly used biomedical alloys as well as the new metallic materials and the essential factors affecting their performance for clinical applications.
