Mechanical Properties of Pure Titanium Models Processed by Selective Laser Melting
نویسندگان
چکیده
The influence of laser processing parameters on mechanical properties and microstructure of pure titanium models made by selective laser melting is investigated. The density of the models can reach higher than 95% under proper conditions. Although the tensile strength test shows results comparable to the wrought material, the impact and torsional fatigue strengths are low because of porosity and oxygen pick-up suggested by increasing of hardness. Hot isostatic pressing allows almost full densification and greatly improves mechanical properties.

Selective laser melting of titanium alloy: investigation of mechanical properties and microstructure
This article presents the mechanical properties and microstructure of titanium alloy after selective laser melting (SLM). Titanium alloys are ideal material for selective laser melting (SLM), because they are expensive and difficult to machinery using traditional technologies. The application of SLM in the biomedical area has been slow due to the stringent performance criteria and concerns rela...

Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) is a selective laser melting (SLM) manufacturing process that can produce near net shape parts from metallic powders. A range of materials are suitable for SLM; they include various metals such as titanium, steel, aluminium, and cobalt-chrome alloys. This paper forms part of a research drive that aims to evaluate the material performance of the SLM-manufactur...

Additive Manufacturing (AM) methods are generally used to produce an early sample or near net-shape elements based on three-dimensional geometrical modules. To date, publications on AM of metal implants have mainly focused on knee and hip replacements or bone scaffolds for tissue engineering. The direct fabrication of metallic implants can be achieved by methods, such as Selective Laser Melting...
متن کاملComparison of Selective Laser Melted Titanium and Magnesium Implants Coated with PCL
Degradable implant material for bone remodeling that corresponds to the physiological stability of bone has still not been developed. Promising degradable materials with good mechanical properties are magnesium and magnesium alloys. However, excessive gas production due to corrosion can lower the biocompatibility. In the present study we used the polymer coating polycaprolactone (PCL), intended...
