Abstract: Zirconium-based biomedical alloys have attracted more and more attention due to their low elastic modulus, high strength, good corrosion resistance and biocompatibility in physiological environment, and have been exploratorily used as human hard tissue replacement materials. This paper reviews the research progress of medical zirconium alloys in Zr-Nb, Zr-Mo and Zr-Ti systems, then summarizes the influence of alloy composition on the mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of medical zirconium alloys based on the performance requirements of biomedical materials. In addition, surface modification technology is an important means to improve the surface properties of alloys. The research progress of surface modification of zirconium alloys in the biomedical field is reviewed from the aspects of different technologies and functional coatings. Finally, the development direction of biomedical zirconium alloy and its surface modification technology is prospected, hoping to provide valuable reference for the research and development of biomedical zirconium alloys.
