Laser additive manufacturing of biodegradable magnesium allo ..
WE43, a magnesium alloy containing yttrium and neodymium as main alloying elements, has become a well-established bioresorbable implant material.. Implants made of WE43 are often fabricated by powder extrusion and subsequent machining, but for more complex geometries laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) appears to be a promising alternative..
