Towards Load-Bearing Biomedical Titanium-Based Alloys: From Essential Requirements to Future Developments

Dear Colleagues,

In the realm of biomedical research and clinical applications, metallic materials have garnered significant attention for their potential to enhance human health and longevity. Among these materials, titanium-based alloys stand out for their exceptional properties in addressing bone health issues in an ageing population. This Topic delves into the microstructure, properties, and processing techniques of titanium-based alloys, exploring various surface modification strategies to improve biocompatibility, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Special emphasis is placed on how additive manufacturing can revolutionize the development path of titanium-based alloys. We welcome submissions ranging from innovative technical developments and reviews to case studies and analytical assessments from various disciplines that are relevant to the support theory and technology of biomedical metallic materials, with a special focus on titanium-based alloys.
