The main consumers of titanium and titanium alloys are the aircraft industry, the rocket production, shipbuilding and chemical industries that use these material for the production of crucial items that combine an excellent specific strength, a low weight and a high corrosion resistance. Due to the availability of natural oxide film, titanium materials possess the properties of bioinertness and biocompatibility and cause no allergic reactions and are quickly overgrown with musculoskeletal tissue whose structure remains unchanged throughout the entire life of a patient in the future. Pure titanium is elastic and it has insufficient strength therefore the titanium alloy Ti6Al4V is widely used for the production of mechanically loaded implants. A drawback of titanium alloys is a decrease in the corrosion resistance with an increase in the amount of alloying elements.
