Abstract

The mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of the titanium-tantalum alloys together with pure titanium are comparatively studied for biomedical applications in this study. The experimental results confirm the previous theoretic investigation that tantalum has a potential to enhance the strength and reduce the elastic modulus of titanium alloys at the same time, and indicate that the titanium-tantalum alloys are more suitable than pure titanium for biomedical applications because of their lower elastic modulus, higher strength and enhanced corrosion resistance than pure titanium used as a standard metallic biomaterial, and the same excellent compatibility to pure titanium.
