TENSILE STRENGHT [MPa] FATIGUE RESISTANCE [MPa]

For this innovative structure, we decided to use Titanium, a material widely known and appreciated in orthopedic applications because of its superior biocompatibility1 and fatigue resistance.
Titanium alloys combine high mechanical performances to an exceptional resistance to corrosion2.
