Main description:

Titanium Alloys for Biomedical Development and Applications: Design, Microstructure, Properties and Application systematically introduces basic theories and progress in the research of biomedical ss-Ti alloys achieved by researchers from different fields. It focuses on a high-strength and low elastic modulus biomedical ss-Ti alloy (TLM), etc. designed by the authors. The alloy design methods, microstructural characteristics, mechanical properties, surface treatment methods and biocompatibility of the TLM alloy are discussed in detail, along with a concise description of the medical devices made from this alloy and the application examples.

This book will appeal to researchers as well as students from different disciplines, including materials science, biology, medicine and engineering fields.
