Abstract:Different compositions of 316L-nHA biocomposites (volume fractions of nano hydroxyapatite (nHA) are 0, 5%, 10% and 15%, respectively) were prepared by selective laser melting (SLM) method. The density and tensile strength of the composites were tested. And their microstructures and fracture morphologies were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that at the nHA content of 5%, the density and tensile strength of composite are close to those of the pure stainless steel, and the maximum tensile strength of 634.6 MPa is achieved at a scanning speed of 350 mm/s. The tensile strength and density of composites decrease significantly when the nHA content increases to 10%-15% and the maximum tensile strength is 264.4 MPa. The surface energy spectrum shows that HA uniformly distributes in the metal matrix and the micro interface of metal-HA composite presents diffusion characteristic. Due to the difference between nHA and 316L stainless steel in thermal expansion coefficient and abundant P in HA, the cracks develop during the SLM process. When the nHA content gradually increases from 5% to 15%, the crack density increases obviously and the cracks are interconnected. When the nHA content is 5%, increasing scanning speed is helpful to reduce the crack number. When the nHA content increases from 10% to 15%, the inhibitory effect on the crack of increasing scanning speed is smaller due to the increase of P content. Under the condition of appropriate ratio of material and process, using SLM method is able to prepare 316L-nHA biocomposite satisfying the mechanical properties requirement of load-bearing bone repairing, which is expected to improve the biocompatibility of the metallic implants.
