摘要
Biomaterials research is one of the most active fields with many novel techniques and products emerging to alleviate pain and suffering. Metallic biomatedals have high strength and toughness in comparison to polymers and ceramics. These advantages make them suitable for load-bearing orthopedic implants and coronary stents. Nowadays, more and more biocompatible light metals, such as titanium alloys and magnesium alloys, are attracting researchers' attention for implant applications.
