(P147-P0186)Design for the additive manufacture of functionally graded metastable β-type Zr-Nb-Sn alloy with tailored mechanical properties for biomedical applications

摘要

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are innovative materials showing continuous gradedmorphology and macroscopic properties along specific direction that makes them suitable candidates forbiomedical applications. Among several approaches, additive manufacturing (AM) is a good match for themanufactured products with change in their properties. Moreover, in recent years, β-type Zr alloys haveattracted much attention for biomedical applications owing to their excellent biocompatibility, low magneticsusceptibility and relatively lower elastic modulus.
