Biocompatibility and Biological Corrosion Resistance of Ti–39Nb–6Zr+0.45Al Implant Alloy
Titanium and titanium alloys are promising implant metallic materials because of their high strengths, low elastic moduli, high corrosion resistances, and excellent biocompatibilities. A large difference in elastic modulus between the implant material and bone leads to a stress shielding effect, whi...
