Abstract
Titanium alloys and stainless steel have been widely used in the production of prostheses, medical and dental devices, due to resistance and anticorrosive properties. Despite that, the values of the elastic modulus of these alloys are about 3-5 times higher than the human bone. So, many researches have sought alternatives to these alloys, in order to obtain alloys with good mechanical strength, low modulus of elasticity and excellent biofunctionality. This work highlights by scientific and technological form, the collection and analysis of the module of elasticity and chemical composition, related to normalizations. The properties obtained, being inadequate, highlights the danger of bone absorption, causing loss of adhesion of the prosthesis and reducing its useful life, In addition, chemical abnormalities are a fundamental problem in terms of risk. Results of this study are shown and analyzed.
