This study measured the tensile, compression, and fatigue behavior of additively manufactured Ti3Al2V as a function of build orientation. Ti3Al2V alloy was prepared by mixing commercially pure titanium (CpTi) and Ti6Al4V in 1:1 wt. ratio. Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) based additive manufacturing (AM) technique was used to fabricate the samples. Tensile tests resulted in an ultimate strength of 989 ± 8 MPa for Ti3Al2V. Ti6Al4V 90° orientation samples showed a compressive yield strength of 1178 ± 33 MPa, and that for Ti3Al2V 90° orientation was 968 ± 24 MPa. Varying the build orientation to account for anisotropy, Ti32-45° and Ti32-0° displayed similar compressive yield strength values of 1071 ± 16 and 1051± 18 MPa, respectively, higher than Ti32-90°. Fatigue loading revealed an endurance limit (10 million cycles) of 250 MPa for Ti6Al4V and 219 MPa for Ti3Al2V built at 90° orientations. The effect of the build orientation was significant under fatigue loading; Ti3Al2V built at 45° displayed an endurance limit of 387.5 MPa, and 0° showed 512 MPa; more than two-fold increment in endurance limit was observed. Our results show the potential of Ti3Al2V alloy for orthopedic devices, replacing Ti6Al4V alloy, particularly in load-bearing applications.

Bacterial colonization of orthopedic implants is one of the leading causes of failure and clinical complexities for load-bearing metallic implants. Topical or systemic administration of antibiotics may not offer the most efficient defense against colonization, especially in the case of secondary infection, leading to surgical removal of implants and in some cases even limbs. In this study, laser powder bed fusion was implemented to fabricate Ti3Al2V alloy by a 1:1 weight mixture of CpTi and Ti6Al4V powders.

Alloy design coupled with metal additive manufacturing (AM) opens many opportunities for materials innovation. Investigating the effect of printing parameters for alloy design is essential to achieve good part quality. Among different factors, laser absorptivity, heat diffusivity, and in situ intermetallic phase formations are critical.
