Titanium profiles are applied primarily in medical industry for manufacturing of bone plates of osteosynthesis.

The basic advantage is the minimum machining and the guaranteed structure in a plate.

Ti 6Al-4V ELI is applied in any biomedical application, particularly for implantable components, because of its biocompatibility, good fatigue

strength, and low modulus. It is also applied where a combination of high strength, light weight, good corrosion resistance,

and high toughness are required, especially at cryogenic temperatures. Some typical applications where this alloy has been used successfully include joint replacements, bone fixation devices, surgical clips, and cryogenic vessels.
