What is the difference between a medical titanium alloy and a titanium nail?

Titanium nails are made of medical titanium.

Medical titanium is a metal used in the manufacture of medical devices, prostheses or adjuvant therapeutic devices implanted in the human body.

Medical titanium has excellent corrosion resistance, elastic modulus close to that of natural bone, and good biocompatibility. Pure titanium for medical use is single-phase structure and cannot be strengthened by heat treatment.

According to the content of impurity elements such as carbon, iron and oxygen, it is divided into 1, 2, 3 and 4 levels.

Medical titanium is used as internal bone plate, bone screw, dental implant, etc., and titanium mesh or titanium plate is also used to make artificial skull, artificial heart valve, cardiac pacemaker and titanium alloy for radiotherapy.

Titanium is an important structural metal developed in the 1950s. Titanium alloy has high strength, good corrosion resistance and high heat resistance. In the 1950s and 1960s, it mainly developed high temperature titanium alloy for aero-engine and structural titanium alloy for body. In the 1970s, a batch of corrosion resistant titanium alloy was developed. Since the 1980s, corrosion resistant titanium alloy and high strength titanium alloy were further developed. Titanium alloys are mainly used to make compressor parts for aircraft engines, followed by structural parts for rockets, missiles and high-speed aircraft
