Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Co-Cr-Mo (CCM) alloy is used for artificial joints because it has excellent wear and corrosion resistances and biocompatibility. Additive manufacturing technologies such as electron beam melting (EBM) is attracting growing attention because of their ability to fabricate tailor-made artificial joints. In this study, we have investigated, (i) the inhomogeneity of the microstructure with special focus on the phase distribution, (ii) the relation between the microstructure and fatigue behavior, and (iii) the effects of post-built heat treatment on the microstructure and fatigue properties of EBM-built CCM alloys. The constituent phases and grain structure were found to depend considerably on the position of the build part in the building space. Heat treatment to form ε-hcp-phase and subsequently reverse it to γ-fcc-phase via diffusive transformation greatly homogenized the phase distribution and refined the microstructure, which resulted in the great improvement of the fatigue property.
