The Ti-6Al-4V ELI alloy is still the main titanium alloy used for medical applications to date. To address the potential safety concerns over vanadium and aluminum, and the possible advantage of using a low modulus material to reduce stress shielding, the development of a low modulus biocompatible implant material was initiated in the United States in 1956. Five beta titanium alloys (TMZF((TM)), Ti-13Nb-13Zr. TIMETAL(R) 21SRx, Tiadyne 1610 and Ti-15Mo) are being proposed for surgical implant applications in the United States. Based on published data, the comparative mechanical property data of these beta titanium alloys are presented.
