*2.3.1 Properties of beta (β) titanium alloys*

As a result, the β titanium alloys have large strength to modulus of elasticity ratios that is almost twice those of 18–8 austenitic stainless steel. In addition, these β titanium alloys contain completely biocompatible elements that impart exceptional biochemical properties such as superior properties such as exceptionally high strength-to-weight ratio, low elastic modulus, super-elasticity low elastic modulus, larger elastic deflections, and low toxicity [1, 3].
