The Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) developed the extreme low elastic titanium alloy (TNZ40) composed of body friendly ingredient. TNZ40 is completely harmless to the living body. Due to its high chemical stability and suitability for human body, titanium is widely used as bio-medical materials replacing human bones. As well as bio-medical materials, extreme low elastic titanium alloy can be applied to the sporting goods.
