In vitro corrosion and biocompatibility behavior of CoCrMo alloy manufactured by laser powder bed fusion parallel and perpendicular to the build direction

•Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) manufactured low carbon CoCrMo alloy manufactured.•Perpendicular (XY) and parallel (XZ) to build direction had distinct microstructure.•As-printed surfaces had higher corrosion than abraded surfaces (as-printed XY highest).•Highest corrosion in the presence of citrate species and oxidative conditions.•As-printed, rough surfaces showed better bioactivity and cell survival.
