Development of a novel Ti-Nb-Au superelastic alloy with exceptionally low elastic modulus

Infection is the leading cause of biomedical implant failure, making the incorporation of antibacterial elements highly desirable. However, new alloys must also possess a low elastic modulus, to prevent stress shielding and bone resorption. Achieving this is challenging, with current alloys containi...
