Harnessing elastic anisotropy to achieve low-modulus refractory high-entropy alloys for biomedical applications

A high-priority target in the design of new metallic materials for load-bearing implant applications is the reduction of Young’s modulus approximating that of cortical bone in the predominant loading direction. Here, we explore how directionally preferential bulk elastic properties of implant materi...
