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] |
