Effect of cryogenic treatment on tribological behavior of Ti6Al4V alloy fabricated by selective laser melting

Ti6Al4V fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) is commonly used as an artificial hip joint. However, the inferior tribological properties fall far short of the requirements for biomedical engineering and is harmful to the patients. In this study, cryogenic treatment (CT) was proposed to solve t...
