Ti6Al4V alloy has a higher elastic modulus (110 GPa) than that of the human bone (10-30 GPa) and this mismatch in elastic moduli can cause stress shielding effect, which can cause bone resorption and implant failure. Moreover, the dissociation of vanadium and aluminium can cause long term diseases including Alzheimer, neuropathy. ß-type titanium alloys are potential substitute materials due to their good biocompatibility and the ß phase has a lower elastic modulus. The aim was to study the microstructure and tensile properties of heat-treated Ti-xMo alloys (x= 8 & 10wt%). Phase analysis was conducted using X-ray diffractometer, while the microstructure was observed using an optical microscope. The tensile properties were examined using a tensile test machine.

Ti-10Mo alloy possessed superior yield and tensile strengths, larger elongation, and lower elastic moduli than that of Ti6Al4V alloy.
