"The primary advantage of TiAlV over CoCrMb is a lower modulus of elasticity. This results in decreased stress shielding and subsequent favorable femoral remodeling."
This new material might do well there..
"TiAlV has been shown to achieve excellent bone ingrowth into porous surfaces."
Well, given they printed this structure almost as a sponge it probably would do well on that front too.
- rsfern 3y agoTo be honest I don’t know too much about the biomedical side, I’m probably jumping to conclusions on what the materials research directions are there - originally I was just going to joke about how you might hope it doesn’t hit its melting temperature if it’s used in a medical implant as it starts to melt around 1600 C
