Titanium's Growing Applications in Healthcare

Artificial joints and artificial bone replacement materials should have the following basic properties: lightweight material, high strength, biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, in vivo tissue reaction does not cause degradation of the material, repeated stress-induced fatigue, the most important properties of the metal implant is molding, machining and polishing, the function must be maintained over the expected life span, and will not be inferior to fatigue, wear and tear, corrosion, and impact loads, titanium and titanium alloys are able to fulfill all these requirements.
