Abstract
Main focus of biomedical industry is manufacturing of the orthopedic (implantable) devices and medical instrumentation. Dynamic developments in this area are driven by different innovations in implant design, biocompatible materials and legal regulations. Typical biocompatible materials include: austenitic stainless steel, titanium alloys, cobalt-chromium alloys, nickel-based shape memory alloys, and certain types of polymers, ceramics and glasses. Unfortunately most of these materials are difficult-to-machine materials. Electro-physical processes are attractive alternative to manufacture 3D macro and micro features, high aspect-ratio features for biomedical applications. This chapter presents details of spark erosion machining process for manufacturing the biomedical components focusing on the issues of biomaterials, biocompatibility, biotolerance and their correlations with SEM process.
