Abstract Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) was utilized to fabricate fully dense, near-
equiatomic (Ni 50.1 Ti 49.9) and Ni-rich NiTi (Ni 50.8 Ti 49.2) shape memory alloy (SMA) …

Microvascular free flap reconstruction has remained the standard of care in reconstruction of
large tissue defects following ablative head and neck oncologic surgery, especially for bony …

It is well documented that overly stiff skeletal replacement and fixation devices may fail and
require revision surgery. Recent attempts to better support healing and sustain healed bone …

There is a growing industrial and academic interest in additive manufacturing (AM)
techniques such as laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) both for producing parts with complex …

This study is the first study on the compressive and tensile stress-strain revealing the
deformation anisotropy among laser powder bed fusion NiTi parts fabricated with the same …

Build orientation is one of the important parameters in the selective laser melting (SLM)
process that could alter the mechanical and fatigue properties of the fabricated parts. In the …
