Titanium has excellent properties as a biomaterial which can be used as the structure or implant to replace
the lost or diseased biological structures. Thus they can help elder for improving the quality of life. However,
titanium has some inherent problems regarding its stiffness and high melting temperature. To overcome these
problems producing titanium alloys can be provided [1,2]. The alloys can exhibit solid solution hardening and
better ductility [3]. In this study, titanium-molybdenum alloys were produced to obtain good mechanical strength,
high chemical stability, excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. Mo was chosen as an additive element
as it decreases the elastic modulus of the alloy [4]. Also, Mo is a refractory element with a high melting point. The
addition of Mo can also enhance the strength and abrasion resistance of Ti-based alloys [5].
