Researchers Developing Improved Method for Producing Titanium Alloy Powder for Artificial Joints

That could mean titanium joints, which can resist corrosion for the lifetime of a patient, could be affordable enough to replace stainless steel joints, which are commonly used today but can corrode after five years. And that could save patients the additional surgeries required to replace failing artificial joints.
