Titanium alloys, mainly Ti–6Al–4V, are commonly used in biomedical applications as orthopedic implants. Due to the potential toxic influence of V and Al cations on health, a new alloy composition, Ti–24Nb–4Zr–8Sn, was introduced. However, Ti–24Nb–4Zr–8Sn has a much lower tensile strength by comparison with the Ti–6Al–…
