Additive manufacturing of biodegradable Zn-xWE43 porous scaffolds: Formation quality, microstructure and mechanical properties

Zn is promising candidate material for biodegradable implants due to its acceptable biocompatibility and moderate degradation rate. However, the strength of pure Zn metal is regarded not enough. In this work, Zn-xWE43 porous scaffolds were fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) with different...
