This book deals with basic aspects of electrochemical corrosion of titanium body implants and associated mitigation strategies. It explains corrosion of titanium implants and current coating technologies for preventing corrosion in a body fluid type environment. Insights are also provided about the titanium clinical failures and various regulatory statutory mandates governing the use of biomaterials. It explains the development of new titanium alloys, their properties applicable for body implant applications and new additive manufacturing methods.Features: Focusses on comprehensive idea about corrosion and coatings involving titanium implants exclusively. Explains regulatory frameworks governing the utilization of biomaterials. Provides a general idea about corrosion fundamentals, estimation, and protection. Includes numerous case studies related to clinical failures of titanium implants and coatings. Talks about recent concepts and developments in titanium metallurgy like stress shielding, recent alloy development strategies, and so forth. This book is aimed at researchers in materials and biomedical sciences, and professionals related to Titanium implant manufacturing.
