 T-based alloys are increasingly used in biomedical applications due to their excellent mechanical, physical and biological properties. Low modulus beta-type T-based alloys are still being developed, while porous T-based alloys are being explored as an alternative orthopedic implant material. This paper summarizes recent advances in T-based alloys for biomedical applications, including fundamental requirements, market and application prospects, basic phases, alloying elements and mechanical properties, thermal treatment, grain size, texture and properties, microstructures and fabrication methods, and prospects and challenges for porous T-based alloys.
