Mechanical Properties and Biocompatibility of the Ti-Based Low-Alloys Minor Alloying by the Noble Metals

This paper describes investigation of the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of the Ti-based low-alloys minor alloying by the noble metal. It was found that almost all of the investigated Ti-based low-alloys, minor alloying by the noble metal, have relatively high biocompatibility, but found to be very brittle during tensile tests. The Ti94Au3Nb3 alloy exhibited relatively good tensile mechanical properties, having very good plasticity.
