Titanium alloy products are generally applied in medical treatment, such as artificial joints, artificial bone, bone fixation, spine correction rod, dental implants, artificial heart valves, intramedullary nail and other fields. The titanium alloy is non-toxic, it's elastic modulus is close to the human skeleton, and the biocompatibility is excellent, titanium alloys implanted in the human body need to be oxidized, the surface will form a honeycombed hole after teratment, what the surface is beneficial for cell growth and binding. The pH value of the human body varies from time to time, as well as the titanium corrosion resistance is very good, is not changed by body fluids, at the same time, it has good mechanical properties, such as strength, toughness, fatigue resistance and wear resistance, which is the safest implant material at present.
