Abstract:
From the past few years, developments of β-Ti alloys have been the subject of active research in the medical
domain. The current paper highlights significant findings in the area of β-Ti alloy design, biological responses,
strengthening mechanisms, and developing low-cost implants with a high degree of biocompatibility. It is
evident that an astonishing demand for developing the low modulus-high strength implants can be fulfilled by
synchronizing β stabilizer content and incorporating tailored thermo-mechanical techniques. Furthermore, the
biological response of the implants is as important as the physical properties that regulate healing response;
hence, the optimum selection of alloying elements plays a curial role for clinical success. The paper also presents
the evolution of patents in this field from the year 2010 to 2020 showing the relevant innovations that may
benefit a wide range of researchers.
