The pore geometry of bioactive glass scaffolds intended for use in bone repair or replacement is one of the most important parameters that could determine the rate of bone regeneration. The pore geometry would also affect the mechanical properties of the scaffolds and their rate of degradation. Scaffolds with five different architectures, having ~50% porosity, were fabricated with silicate (13–93) and borate (13–93B3) based bioactive glasses using a laser sintering process. An established, late-osteoblasts/early-osteocytes cell line was used to perform cell proliferation tests on the scaffolds. The results indicated that the cells proliferate significantly more on the scaffolds which mimic …

Most additive manufacturing processes are layer-by-layer deposition, thus its mechanical properties could be very different than those made from traditional manufacturing processes. This paper summarizes a mini-tensile testing methodology for additive manufacturing. Research concerning the tensile testing of metallic material has been conducted and test methods have been defined. It encompasses the methods for determination of yield strength, yield point elongation, tensile strength, elongation, and reduction of area. The study of positional variation and cooling-rate dependency in case of additive manufacturing proves to be expensive and time consuming with the full-size test specimens. Thus, this paper discussed a technique for …

Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) is an additive manufacturing technique for manufacturing complex near net shaped components. The grain size of the typical deposition microstructure in case of Ti-6Al-4V can range between 100µm-600µm, which is much larger than that of forged-like microstructures. Friction Stir Processing (FSP) has been investigated as a method for surface modification to form refined microstructure at the surface of the Ti-6Al-4V components manufactured from the LMD method. Integration of FSP and LMD can greatly improve the product properties. Friction stir processing of the laser deposited Ti-6Al-4V deposits was performed and optimum processing parameters were obtained using this …

Multilayer direct laser deposition (DLD) is a fabrication process through which parts are fabricated by creating a molten pool into which metal powder is injected as particles. During fabrication, complex thermal activity occurs in different regions of the build; for example, newly deposited layers will reheat previously deposited layers. The objective of this study was to provide insight into the thermal activity that occurs during the DLD process. This work focused on the effect of the laser parameters of newly deposited layers on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the previously deposited layers in order to characterize these effects to …
