Abstract

Biomaterial implants Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are used as promising cloth for bone implants due to their excessive power to weight ratio and excellent biocompatibility. Many researchers investigated range of titanium alloys having likeminded houses with extraordinary sorts of bones by way of mixing distinct elements. Low elastic modulus, non-toxic and bio-compatibility are some vital parameters that are investigated in literature. Magnesium (Mg) is nicely recognised for its biodegradability. A Ti-Mg composite has emerged as extraordinary candidate for bone implant due to its low elastic constant, excessive electricity to weight, incredible bio-compatibility. The bio-degradability property of Mg makes a awesome desire to combine with Ti that offers provision for tissue ingrowth.
