Problems solved by technology

However, porous tantalum materials prepared by traditional mechanical processing methods have low porosity, uneven pore size and high closed porosity
[0003] Selective laser melting technology is an effective way to prepare porous tantalum metal due to its high material utilization rate, "personalized" customization, high forming efficiency, large process controllability, and low environmental pollution. High melting point, during the SLM forming process, the time for the laser to act on the metal powder is extremely short, and the metal powder has to go through a process of instant melting and solidification, which will inevitably cause the non-equilibrium solidification of the metal powder from solid to liquid, in the material forming area and Large thermal stress is caused between the formed areas. If the laser printing parameters of the part are not selected properly, it will cause problems such as cracks and warping of the part, which will greatly limit the application of the part

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of laser additive manufacturing, and in particular relates to a method for preparing medical porous tantalum parts based on selective laser melting technology. Background technique [0002] Due to the unique porous structure, medical porous metal materials are not only conducive to the growth of new bone tissue, but also can play a role in fixation. By controlling the porosity and pore size of the porous metal material, its elastic modulus is close to that of human bone, thereby avoiding the harm of "stress shielding" to human bone. In addition, compared with other medical metal materials, porous tantalum does not chemically react with acid and alkali at room temperature, and has good corrosion resistance; at the same time, it has excellent biocompatibility, and is even called "biophilic metal". However, porous tantalum materials prepared by traditional mechanical processing methods have low porosity, uneve...
