  • Abstract
    It has been proven that titanium and its alloys have an excellent biocompatibility. That´s why many studies have been made on them, in order to enlarge their biomedical applicability domain. In this paper, a new titanium alloy, Ti25Nb25Ta was tested in different biological environments, in order to evaluate its wear behavior.
