Abstract
Due to the excellent biocompatibility allied to corrosion resistance, the application of titanium alloys in the field of orthopedic and dental implants have gained strength since 1970. However, the elastic modulus of these alloys is still about 2 to 4 times higher than the human bone. The most widely used titanium alloy for biomedical applications is Ti-6Al-4V, however, previous studies h…
