Abstract: CobalteChromiumeMolybdenum (CoeCreMo) alloys are commonly used for artificial hipand knee joint metallic implants. These components are subjected to repetitive loads duringservice. Therefore, materials used for such applications must exhibit a high fatigue crackresistance. In this research, Coe$_{28}$Cre$_6$Mo (wt.-%) powder was utilized as a feedstock in alaser powder bed fusion process to produce test coupons. The coupons were then subjectedto load-controlled cyclic material tests in the low cycle fatigue regime to study mechanicalresponse and microstructural changes of the material. With the progressing number of cycles,a continuous increase in macroscopic plastic strain was observed. The electron backscattereddiffraction analysis revealed that cyclic loading caused deformation-induced facecenteredcubic (FCC)/hexagonal close-packed (HCP) phase transformation. In addition, thephase transition generated an accumulation of plastic strain at the FCC/HCP interface givingrise to crack nucleation. The crack propagation path along HCP orientation variants withhigh mechanical work and strain hardening mechanism is discussed.
