Abstract

Titanium alloys have wide biomedical applications, and the alloys can be modified according to the requirements. In addition, various surface modifications for titanium alloys have been tried for the better functionality and biocompatibility. This chapter gives an overview of titanium alloys for biomedical applications and presents recent and popular surface modifications focusing on its application, surface, mechanical, corrosion, and biological properties. Common titanium and its alloys include titanium–aluminum–vanadium (Ti–Al–V), titanium–aluminum–niobium (Ti–Al–Nb), titanium–aluminum–iron (Ti–Al–Fe), titanium–zirconium (Ti–Zr), titanium–zirconium–niobium–tantalum–palladium (Ti–Zr–Nb–Ta–Pd), titanium–niobium–tantalum–zirconium (Ti–Nb–Ta–Zr), and nickel–titanium alloy (Ni–Ti). Surface modifications can be grouped as thermal treatment and plasma surface modification, various nanocomposites, and carbon-related coatings.
