Abstract
The main purpose of biomedical implant is to replace the damaged/injured parts in the human body. Titanium, cobalt-chromium alloys and stainless steel (SS-316L) are the commonly used materials for the implants due to their bioactive & biocompatible nature as well as superior mechanical properties. In this work, a systematic procedure for development of tailor made SS-316L hip implant by using the combined route of fused deposition modelling (FDM), chemical vapor smoothing (CVS), vacuum casting (VC) and investment casting (IC) has been outlined. Further, the effect of two controllable parameters of the IC process (drying time of primary coating and mould thickness) has been investigated on the surface roughness of fabricated implants. Finally, mathematical models have been developed for prediction of surface roughness by using Buckingham’s Pi-theorem. It has been observed that the models are highly suitable for data prediction.
