The anisotropy-impact response relationship of a biocompatible niobium zirconium (NbZr) alloy with an ultrafine-grained microstructure was investigated. The current findings not only shed light on the micromechanisms dictating the impact response in the microstructures studied, but are also encouraging with respect to the use of NbZr in orthopedic and dental implants.
