Osteogenic Properties of Titanium Alloy Ti6Al4V-Hydroxyapatite Composites Fabricated by Selective Laser Melting
Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been widely used for coating metal bone implants. However, HA coating may separate from the metal substrates, resulting in poor performance such as inflammatory reactions which may finally lead to implant failure. Dispersing HA into metal substrate may be a viable solution but such a composite may suffer from inferior mechanical strength. Therefore, a functionally graded material (FGM) with HA dispersing in metal …
