Fatigue Analysis of Additively Manufactured Ti-6Al-4V for Biomedical Applications: Permanent Bone Screws
Additively manufactured (AM) materials are being used increasingly in many industries, specifically the health sector. AM materials are highly advantageous as they can be quickly produced and are custom-created to exactly fit the application. In this research, the fatigue life of AM Ti-6Al-4V is studied and compared to the fatigue life of standard produced Ti-6Al-4V. The comparison will determine whether AM Ti-6Al-4V is suitable for the specific application of human bone screws. If it is determined suitable for the application, more research should be conducted on the osseointegration of AM Ti-6Al-4V in the human body.
