Ti-based alloys namely, Ti-Ni, has been used as biomedical material due to its superior properties. However, it has been reported recently that nickel is toxic to the human body and thus alternative nickel-free alloys has been rigorously studied. The best candidate materials are Ti-Nb and Ti-Ta whic...
