Finite Element Analysis of Porous Medical Grade Cobalt Chromium Alloy Structures Produced by Selective Laser Melting

The recent introduction of selective laser melting (SLM) for the processing of medical grade cobalt chromium (CoCr) alloy has led to a complex shape fabrication of porous custom CoCr alloy implants with controlled porosity to meet the requirements of the anatomy and functions at the region of implan...
