Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing a porous tantalum medical implant material based on an electron beam selective melting technology. The method comprises the steps that firstly, software is utilized for reconstructing a two-dimensional medical CT image or MRI data, and a three-dimensional model of the porous tantalum medical implant material is obtained after structure optimization andsupporting addition processing are conducted on a three-dimensional rough model; and secondly, selective melting is conducted on tantalum powder by adopting electron beams according to shearing-layerdata of the three-dimensional model of the porous tantalum medical implant material, and then the porous tantalum medical implant material is obtained. According to the method for preparing the porous tantalum medical implant material based on the electron beam selective melting technology, the tantalum powder is melted and formed under the vacuum condition, and no additive is contained in the tantalum powder, so that the oxidation phenomenon after heating of tantalum is avoided, contamination of impurity elements such as carbon and oxygen is reduced, the requirement of the customized poroustantalum medical implant material is met, and meanwhile biological stability and biological compatibility of the porous tantalum medical implant material are improved. Post-processing processes such as sintering and annealing do not need to be conducted on the obtained porous tantalum medical implant material, and the method is convenient and efficient.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of preparation of porous medical metal implant materials, and specifically relates to a method for preparing porous tantalum medical implant materials based on electron beam selective melting technology. Background technique [0002] Porous tantalum is a foam-like porous metal with a pore size of 400μm~600μm, a porosity of 70%~80%, and an elastic modulus of about 3GPa, which is between human cancellous bone (0.1GPa~1.5GPa) and cortical bone Between 12GPa and 18GPa), it is much lower than titanium alloy (110GPa) and cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy (220GPa). In 1997, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved porous tantalum as a biomedical material for clinical treatment of artificial acetabulum. Compared with other biomedical metal materials, porous tantalum has the typical characteristics of high volume porosity, low elastic modulus and high surface friction coefficient, making it an ideal bone substitute materi...
