## Abstract Nickel‐titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloys are increasingly being used in orthopedic applications. However, there is a concern that Ni is harmful to the human body. We have recently investigated the use of nitrogen, or oxygen plasma immersion ion implantation to mitigate this deleteriou
## Abstract Nickel‐titanium shape memory alloys are promising materials in orthopedic applications because of their unique properties. However, for prolonged use in a human body, deterioration of the corrosion resistance of the materials becomes a critical issue because of the increasing possibilit
Nickel-titanium shape memory alloy (Nitinol) has properties that could be very useful in surgical applications. Thermal shape memory, superelasticity, and high damping properties make such alloys behave differently compared to other implant metals. There has previously been a lack of sufficient evid
## Abstract __In vitro__ studies of Ti‐6Al‐7Nb and Ti‐5Al‐2Nb‐1Ta alloys were carried out by treating the specimens with 10__M__ NaOH at 60°C for 24 h and subsequently heat‐treated at 600°C for 1 h. After the alkali and heat treatments, and on subsequent soaking in simulated body fluid (SBF), the m
