Surface characterization of Fe–10Al–25Mn alloy for biomaterial applications

The austenitic stainless-steel biomaterial, AISI 316L stainless steel, is one of the most widely used for orthopedic or prosthetic implant devices because it is easy to manufacture at a relatively low cost. However, corrosion is a challenging issue related to major alloying compounds with body fluids and wear. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a biomaterial of Fe–Al–Mn alloys by minimizing chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni) contents. In the...
