TLDR
Common considerations such as strength, ductility, and fatigue behaviors are covered together with special attention on several new uncertainties including low creep resistance, high susceptibility to natural aging, and static recrystallization (SRX) which may lead to device failure during storage at room temperature and clinical usage at body temperature.About:
