The effect of chemical composition and microstructure on elastic modulus and hardness of biomedical Titanium alloys based on Ti-Nb-Zr-Ta composition with small Fe and Si additions

Abstract

Beta titanium alloys are promising materials for load-bearing orthopaedic implants due to their excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, low elastic modulus and moderate strength.
