A comparative investigation on the mechanical properties and cytotoxicity of Cubic, Octet, and TPMS gyroid structures fabricated by selective laser melting of stainless steel 316L
Source abstract
Abstract
Metallic lattice structures can be fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) with purposefully designed pores and controlled pore sizes that can bio mimic the natural bone, providing adequate mechanical and biological support for the patients. Strut-based structures, like Cubic, Octet; and sheet-based structures, like triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) gyroid, have been studied extensively in the past. However, it lacks enough comparative study on the mechanical properties and cytotoxicity among these structures. Therefore, Cubic, Octet, and TPMS gyroid of Stainless steel 316 L (SS316L) are designed, manufactured, and characterized at 40/50/60% relative densities in this study. Moreover, the flowability, density characteristics, and cytotoxicity of SS316L powder are validated to ascertain its suitability for 3D printing and implant application. Based on refining the Gibson-Ashby model, it is possible to predict or design the mechanical properties via adjusting the relative densities. The results indicate these structures demonstrated appropriate Young's modulus and outstanding biocompatibility.
