Co–Cr–Mo alloy is used extensively for orthopedic implant applications. In this work, anisotropy in microstructure and mechanical properties of additively manufactured Co–Cr–Mo alloy by selective electron beam melting (SEBM) has been investigated. Experimental results show that the SEBM-built Co–Cr–...
