Must be someone with money saw the status of this patent being activated yesterday, (Application status is Active on 10-18-2019). Imagine the potential for revenue on such a new form of medical metal.

In conclusion, utrafine-grained titanium of the present invention is as strong or stronger than titanium alloy Ti6Al-4V that is commonly used to make medical implants. In particular, the invention provides ultrafine-grained titanium having an ultimate strength of about 860-1100 MPa and a yield strength of about 795-1050 MPa. The combination of biocompatibility, high strength, and lack of toxic alloying elements makes implants of the present invention an attractive alternative to implants made from Ti-6Al-4V and other materials that are currently used.
