High-productivity PBF-LB/M processing of Ti–Nb–Ta alloys: tailoring microstructure and phase evolution for low-modulus orthopedic implants

Abstract Metallic bone implants with a high Young’s modulus can cause stress shielding, leading to bone resorption and long-term failure. β-stabilized titanium alloys have been widely explored to overcome this limitation due to their lower elastic stiffness. In this study, Ti-20N...
