Beta phase stability of Ti-35Nb-6Ta-7Zr-0.7O beta titanium alloy

Abstract

The so-called metastable beta titanium alloys are promising materials for joint implant production due to combination of high strength together with low Young's modulus. Low stiffness eliminates the stress-shielding effect of the implant in the bone, that arises when the difference between Young's modulus of a bone and the implant is large.
