Los metales y la medicina

The video tutorial discusses the use of metals like titanium, stainless steel, and amalgams in medical applications. Titanium is favored for its reactivity with oxygen, forming a stable surface ideal for implants, and its non-magnetic nature makes it safe for MRI procedures. Stainless steel, an alloy of iron and chromium, is used for temporary bone reinforcement due to its density and oxidation resistance. Dental amalgams, composed of silver and mercury, are used for tooth fillings due to their moldability and durability.
