Laser Powder Bed Fusion of a Ti-16Nb-Based Alloy: Processability, Microstructure, and Mechanical Properties

Titanium alloys, especially Ti6Al4V, are widely used in biomedical implants due to their biocompatibility and mechanical strength. However, their high elastic modulus (>100 GPa), compared to that of human bone (10–30 GPa), often causes stress shielding, reducing implant lifespan. To address this,...
