Effect of laser processing parameters on mechanical properties of porous tantalum fabricated by laser multi-layer micro-cladding

摘要

Purpose - Additive manufacturing (AM), a method used in the nuclear, space and racing industries, allows the creation of customized titanium alloy scaffolds with highly defined external shape and internal structure using rapid prototyping as supporting external structures within which bone tissue can grow. AM allows porous tantalum parts with mechanical properties close to that of bone tissue to be obtained.
