Abstract

Porous Ti6Al4V alloys with anisotropic structure for biomedical application was fabricated by diffusion bonding of titanium alloy meshes. Compressive mechanical compatibility of the alloys is investigated as human bone implants. It is concluded that the fabrication processing for porous Ti6Al4V alloys has better control of the porosity. The pore structure of porous titanium is anisotropic, with elongated and square pores in the out-of-plane and in-plane direction, respectively, which is suited for bone ingrowth. The compressive Young’s modulus and yield stress of porous Ti6Al4V alloy compressed in the out-of-plane direction are 12.2 GPa and 171.4 MPa, respectively, which is compatible with those for the cortical bones.
