Abstract

The field of biomaterials is one of the fastest growing area of research for the contemporary materials scientist and engineers, as these materials can enhance the fineness and longevity of human life, and ameliorate patient health care. The privilege of titanium and its alloys in mechanical biocompatibility has driven its prevalent usage in the application of biomaterial. Titanium and its alloys are found to be the best biomaterial, which stands out with its remarkable properties, compared to stainless steel, Co-Cr alloys, ceramics, polymers, and composite materials. In this review, exhaustive efforts have been made to compile the effect of alloy composition, thermal and thermomechanical processing on some substantial properties related to the biomechanical compatibility of biomedical Ti alloys. This paper concentrates its interest mainly on the evolution, evaluation and development of effective microstructural features that can improve Young’s modulus, main tensile properties, and fatigue strength of bio grade titanium materials via using thermal and thermomechanical treatments.
