Fatigue properties and biocompatibility of Ti-6Al-4V alloy after EDM process for improved osteointegration-comprehensive research report

Abstract

Electric discharge machining (EDM) with relatively high peak currents was performed on Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Several experimental investigations have been undertaken in order to assess whether EDM process is viable surface treatment technique for application in orthopaedics.
