The orthopedic potential of biodegradable iron (Fe)-manganese (Mn)-copper (Cu) alloys remains insufficiently defined, necessitating comprehensive investigation into their mechanical properties, wear resistance, magnetic resonance imaging compatibility, biodegradation behavior, antibacterial efficacy, cytocompatibility, and osteogenic differentiation capacity. This study systematically addresses these aspects through microstructural characterization, mechanical testing, and biological evaluations of Fe-30Mn-6Cu alloy fabricated via selective laser melting (SLM). For comparison, a Cu-free Fe-30M...
