The porous metallic biomaterials fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) have broad prospects, but the surface of the SLM-built porous structure has been severely adhered with unmelted powders, which affects the forming accuracy and surface quality. The porous metallic biomaterials face the corrosion problem of complex body fluid environments during service, so their corrosion resistance in the human body is extremely important. The surface quality will affect the corrosion resistance of the porous metallic biomaterials. Therefore, it is necessary to study the effect of post-treatment on the corrosion resistance of SLMed samples. In this work, the mechanical response and the electrochemical corrosion behavior in simulated body fluid of diamond and pentamode metamaterials Ti-6Al-4V alloy fabricated by SLM before and after sandblasting were studied. After sandblasting, the mechanical properties of the two porous metallic biomaterials were slightly improved, and the self-corrosion potential and pitting potential were more negative;meanwhile, the self-corrosion current density and passive current density increased, indicating that its corrosion performance decreased, and the passive film stability of sandblasted samples got worse.展开更多
