An intensive development of medical technologies and surgical procedures led to placed new and more stringent requirements on the biomaterials used. Among these materials are shape-memory alloys (SMAs) like Ti-Ta. Despite the excellent biocompatibility of Ti-Ta SMAs, certain issues like corrosion be...
