Abstract

The field of biomedical materials plays an imperative requisite and a critical role in manufacturing. Recently, titanium materials are being used as biomaterials because of their superior corrosion resistance and tremendous spicific strength, free-alergic problems and the greatest biocompatibility compared to other competing biomaterials such as stainless steel, Co-Cr alloys, ceramics, polymers, and composite materials. This paper presents a review in which extensive efforts have been made to accumulate the efect of thermal and thermomechanical processing on corrosion resistance of biomedical titanium allloys. This paper focuses mainly on the evolution, evaluation and development of eefective microstructural features that can improve corrosion properties of bio grade titanium materials using thermal and thermomechanical treatments.
