Porous Ti compacts for biomedical applications are successfully fabricated in the porosity range from 5.0 to 37.1 vol% by controlling sintering conditions and Ti powder sizes. Young’s modulus and bending strength at the porosity of around 30 vol% are found to be similar to those of human cortical bo...
