Selective laser melting of Zn–Ag alloys for bone repair: microstructure, mechanical properties and degradation behaviour
Zn possesses good biodegradability and biocompatibility, but its strength and hardness are insufficient for bone implants. In this study, Ag was introduced into Zn to improve the mechanical properties by selective laser melting. The results showed that Ag was dissolved in Zn, which generated constit...
