  text: "Laser beam melting (LBM) is an advanced manufacturing technology providing\r\nspecial
    features and the possibility to produce complex and individual parts directly\r\nfrom
    a CAD model. TiAl6V4 is the most common used titanium alloy particularly\r\nin
    biomedical applications. TiAl6Nb7 shows promising improvements especially\r\nregarding
    biocompatible properties due to the substitution of the hazardous\r\nvanadium.
    This work focuses on the examination of laser beam melted TiAl6Nb7.\r\nFor microstructural
    investigation scanning electron microscopy including energydispersive\r\nx-ray
    spectroscopy as well as electron backscatter diffraction are utilized.\r\nThe
    laser beam melted related acicular microstructure as well as the corresponding\r\nmechanical
    properties, which are determined by hardness measurements\r\nand tensile tests,
    are investigated. The laser beam melted alloy meets,\r\nexcept of breaking elongation
    A, the mechanical demands like ultimate tensile\r\nstrength Rm, yield strength
    Rp0.2, Vickers hardness HV of international standard\r\nISO 5832-11. Next steps
    contain comparison between TiAl6Nb7 and TiAl6V4 in\r\ndifferent conditions. Further
    investigations aim at improving mechanical properties\r\nof TiAl6Nb7 by heat treatments
    and assessment of their influence on the microstructure\r\nas well as examination
    regarding the corrosive behavior in human bodylike\r\nconditions."
