Niobium, titanium and niobium titanium alloys

Biomaterials are also known as biomedical materials. This material is mainly used to replace damaged or missing human tissue structures. Biomaterials are used for the purpose of repairing the appearance and properties of tissues.

Niobium and titanium have good mechanical compatibility, strong corrosion resistance and excellent biocompatibility. Therefore, niobium and titanium are widely used in the field of human bone tissue replacement.

At present, the matching degree between the elastic modulus of medical titanium alloy implants and human bone is not very high. Therefore, it is easy to lead to "stress masking" effect in clinical application. For this reason, titanium implants in the complex environment of the human body, the service life is not very long.

The porous niobium alloy can reduce the elastic modulus of alloy implants and avoid the "stress masking" effect. Because niobium alloy has a unique pore structure, it is conducive to the adhesion and proliferation of osteoblasts. Niobium metal has good wear resistance, so porous niobium alloy has a good medical application prospect.

At present, several preparation methods of porous alloys are used most at home and abroad, including casting method, metal deposition method, fiber metallurgy method and powder metallurgy method.

Fortu Tech can produce niobium sheet, niobium plate, niobium wire, niobium rod, titanium sheet, titanium plate, titanium wire, titanium wire, niobium titanium alloy plate, niobium titanium alloy wire, niobium titanium alloy rod, niobium titanium alloy tube, etc.
