This study explores beta titanium alloys as advanced biomaterials addressing stress shielding challenges from stiff conventional metallic materials such as Co-Cr, Steels, and Ti-6Al-4V. Using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and in situ alloying of Ti and stainless steel powders, we fabricate a novel beta titanium alloy with a BCC phase and refined microstructure. The as-printed alloy exhibits low modulus (~87 GPa) and high strength comparable to commercial Ti-6Al-4V. Notably, the novel alloy demonstrates excellent biocompatibility, showcasing its potential for biomedical implants.

摘要

This study explores beta titanium alloys as advanced biomaterials addressing stress shielding challenges from stiff conventional metallic materials such as Co-Cr, Steels, and Ti-6Al-4V. Using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and in situ alloying of Ti and stainless steel powders, we fabricate a novel beta titanium alloy with a BCC phase and refined microstructure. The as-printed alloy exhibits low modulus (~87 GPa) and high strength comparable to commercial Ti-6Al-4V. Notably, the novel alloy demonstrates excellent biocompatibility, showcasing its potential for biomedical implants.
