In the present day and age, human implant materials are making significant strides in their application towards the biomedical sector. Human implants have piqued the interest of material and metallurgy researchers due to their unique properties. Stainless steel based human implant is widely used in orthopedic implantology, although biological complications may result from its insufficient mechanical and tribological properties. There are multiple forms of stainless steel starting with the introduction of type 302 for its application in orthopedic surgery. Type 316L stainless steel is commonly used in surgical procedures to replace biological tissue or to help stabilize a biological structure. To contribute further in the same area, the purpose of the current research work is to investigate the machinability of -SS-L107.12 (a stainless steel based human implant) using a non-traditional method called wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM). The machinability of the machining process has been evaluated based on the material removal rate, using a roughness meter and the atomic force microscope. The further impact of the machining parameters on the output responses was analyzed based on the statistical analysis.
