Enhanced biocompatibility of a Ni–Cr alloy prepared by selective laser melting: a preliminary in vitro study

Against a general consensus regarding the high toxicity and low biocompatibility of cast nickel–chromium (Ni–Cr) alloys, the in vitro biocompatibility of selective laser melting (SLM)-fabricated Ni–Cr alloys was investigated and compared with that of cast alloy. Using a single Ni–Cr alloy powder, tw...
