Prospects for Titanium Alloys

Titanium alloys possess excellent performance which are needed by biomedical materials, so large quantity of titanium alloys are used as human implants.

Titanium alloys are especially applied as human sclerous tissues’ rehabilitation materials and substitute materials. Some diseases, like rarefaction of bone, osteoarthritis, trauma, etc.. would need joint replacement surgery.

It is estimated that by the end of the year of 2030, demands for  long-term and effective implants would be enormously increased. Hip joint replacement would increase by 174%, arthroplasty of knee is predicted to increase by 673%. Due to more and more physical traumas caused by all kinds of reasons, surgical rehabilitations increase.

So the prospects of developing titanium alloys materials which possess longer service life and excellent biocompatibility are promising.

At present, developed biomedical titanium alloys need to be improved. The corrosion resistance of biomedical titanium alloys should be enhanced by improving the surface, which is very important to prolong the service life of implants in the human body.

Secondly, developing porous titanium materials, reducing modulus of elasticity to prevent the effect of stress shielding, at the same time, to promote bone reconstruction and offer excellent environment for the growth of bone cells.

Thirdly, improving processing technics and adopting new technology of powder metallurgy to reduce titanium alloys’ cost.
