Microstructural and mechanical analysis of 316L SS/ β-TCP composites produced though the powder metallurgy route

Abstract The 316L stainless steel (316L SS) is one of the most used metallic materials for implants, due to its high mechanical properties and low cost. However, it is bioinert. One possibility to improve its biocompatibility is the production of a composite with b-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) addit...
