Summary of the properties, advantages, and disadvantages of the most common biomedical alloys.

Materials Density Tensile Strength Elastic Modulus Advantages Disadvantages Refs.
Stainless steels ~7500 kg/m3 ~620 MPa 193~200 GPa High strength, ductility Harmful metal release, stress shielding [20,21]
Co–Cr alloys ~10,000 kg/m3 ~150 MPa 220~230 GPa High strength and wear resistance Harmful metal release [22,23]
Ti Alloys ~4500 kg/m3 ~240 MPa 55~114 GPa High strength, corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, low elastic modulus Stress shielding [24,25]
