The mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of the titanium-tantalum alloys together with pure titanium are comparatively studied for biomedical applications in this study. The experimental results confirm the previous theoretic investigation that tantalum has a potential to enhance the strength and reduce the elastic modulus of titanium alloys at the same time, and indicate that the titaniumtantalum alloys are more suitable than pure titanium for biomedical applications because of their lower elastic modulus, higher strength and enhanced corrosion resistance than pure titanium used as a standard metallic biomaterial, and the same excellent compatibility to pure titanium.
