Biomaterials encompass synthetic alternatives to the native materials found in our body. They have shown rapid growth in the field of elderly population demands with the prolongation of human life. Titanium is one of the biomaterials with excellent properties and biocompatibility. However, its high stiffness may cause weakening in the structures. To sort out this problem, Ti-Cr, Ti-Mo, and Ti-Cu alloys were produced by powder metallurgy. Metal powders were mixed by mechanical alloying. After pressing and sintering, characterizations were carried out by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, electron backscattering diffraction, and three points bending test.
