Artificial body parts are made of numerous materials, such as metals, ceramics, and plastics.

Titanium is used due to its' biocompatibility ( this means the material is not rejected by the bodys' immune system), and its' ability to be moulded with ease yet still strong.

Titanium has a: * tensile strength of 960 MPa * elasticity of 110 GPa * Density 4.5 g/cm^3 However titanium can wear out easily.

What are some artificial body parts?

One of the major subjects that have caught everyone's attention in medical science is the development of artificial replacements. An artificial replacement is a man-made organ, bone, etc. that is implanted in human body to replace its natural counterpart. The pace, at which, scientists are doing experiments with the artificial body parts, somehow it seems like we would be able to create a real human being very soon in the near future.

A medical use for titanium is artificial?

Well Titanium is an ultra light alloy and is available in various grades for various purposes. In the medical end, titanium (generally grade 23 or better) is used for hip replacements, ball and socket joint replacements, it is also used for screws pins and plates that are intended to be left inside the body due in part to it's bio-compatability. Which means it wont elicit an adverse reaction when used in the body (other wise know as a rejection).
