A Review of Additive Mixed-Electric Discharge Machining: Current Status and Future Perspectives for Surface Modification of Biomedical Implants

TL;DR: Additive mixed-electric discharge machining (AM-EDM) is an emerging technology which simultaneously acts as a machining and surface modification technique as discussed by the authors. But, most of these techniques have several drawbacks such as excessive cost and surface cracks and require very high sintering temperature.

On the mechanisms of biocompatibility.

David F. Williams
- 01 Jul 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that, in the vast majority of circumstances, the sole requirement for biocompatibility in a medical device intended for long-term contact with the tissues of the human body is that the material shall do no harm to those tissues, achieved through chemical and biological inertness.
