Biodegradation-affected fatigue behavior of extrusion-based additively manufactured porous iron–manganese scaffolds

Additively manufactured (AM) biodegradable porous iron-manganese (FeMn) alloys have recently been developed as promising bone-substituting biomaterials. However, their corrosion fatigue behavior has not yet been studied. Here, we present the first study on the corrosion fatigue behavior of an extrusion-based AM porous Fe35Mn alloy under...

Multi-material additive manufacturing technologies for Ti-, Mg-, and Fe-based biomaterials for bone substitution

The growing interest in multi-functional metallic biomaterials for bone substitutes challenges the current additive manufacturing (AM, =3D printing) technologies. It is foreseeable that advances in multi-material AM for metallic biomaterials will not only allow for complex geometrical designs, but also improve their multi-functionalities by...
