Abstract

Titanium and its alloy, especially Ti6Al4V is one of the most widely used metal due to its excellent properties. Selective laser melting, which is known as additive manufacturing is considered as a suitable method to manufacture Ti6Al4V parts. To print a more analogous Ti6Al4V artificial bone, laser power was changed by taking volume porosity, corrosion resistance and wear resistance into consideration. The testing results showed that sample printed using 200 W showed a relative optimal corrosion resistance and volume porosity in all these five samples (the value of corrosion voltage is − 0.352 V), while it showed the best bio-tribological behavior, and its wear volume is as low as 5.90 μm3. Summarize the 5 sets of experimental samples, the Ti6Al4V part printed using 180–200 W were the most prominent in the test, its overall performance was, indeed, best fit to print artificial Ti6Al4V bone, because it is similar to bone, there are a large number of microporous structures.

Graphic Abstract

Corrosion mechanism At the oxide film/metal interface, the metal undergoes an ionization reaction to form M2+, the O2 molecule forms an atomic state of oxygen by physical adsorption on the metal surface, and then chemically adsorbs to form O−, and is bonded to the oxide crystal lattice in an O2− state to form a new oxide which hinders further oxidation. The presence of voids also reduces the corrosion resistance of the substrate material due to the increased corrosion area, and corrosive ions are more likely to penetrate into corrosive materials. Wear mechanism Ploughing wear and oxidation erode can be seen on the surface while ploughing wear was the most significant mechanism. From the EDS results, it can be found that the abrasive dust was mainly composed of TiO2. This phenomenon was due to the fact that Ti is a kind of active metal and it is easily oxidized. That is the reason why oxidation erode can also be found on the surface and it further explained the equivalent circuit given in corrosion behavior section.
