Effects of Silicon and Heat-Treatment on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Biomedical Ti-39Nb-6Zr Alloy

The cytotoxic tissue reactions of alloying elements (Al, V) of Ti-6Al-4V have been reported, whereas the Ti-39Nb-6Zr (TNZ40) alloy developed by adding β-phase stabilizing elements is known to have no cytotoxicity and exhibits excellent biocompatibility. In addition, there is a slight modulus differe...
