Abstract [en]

Cu addition to alloys for biomedical applications has been of great interest to reduce bacterial growth. In situ-alloyed Ti6Al4V(ELI)-3at.%Cu was successfully manufactured by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF). Even so, post-heat treatments are required to avoid distortions and/or achieve required/desired mechanical and fatigue properties. The present study is focused on the investigation of microstructural changes in L-PBF Ti6Al4V(ELI)-3at.%Cu after stress relieving and annealing treatments, as well as their influence on osteoblast and bactericidal behavior. After the stress relieving treatment, a homogenously distributed β phase and CuTi2 intermetallic precipitates were observed over the αʹ matrix. The annealing treatment led to the increase in amount and size of both types of precipitates, but also to phase redistribution along α lamellas. Although microstructural changes were not statistically significant, such increase in β and CuTi2 content resulted in an increase in osteoblast proliferation after 14 days of cell culture. A significant bactericidal behavior of L-PBF Ti6Al4V(ELI)-3at.%Cu by means of ion release was found after the annealing treatment, provably due to the easier release of Cu ions from β phase. Biofilm formation was inhibited in all on Cu-alloyed specimens with stress relieving but also annealing treatment.
