• openAccess   Analysis of bending strength of porous titanium processed by space holder method 

      Amigó Borrás, Vicente; Reig, Lucía; Busquets Mataix, David Jerónimo; Ortiz, J. L. Maney on behalf of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Nining (2011-02)
      Porous titanium specimens have been produced by means of the space holder method. Titanium grade 3 (TiCP3) has been used as material and ammonium bicarbonate as spacer. Process parameters (compaction pressure, metal grain ...
    • closedAccess   Development of porous Ti6Al4V samples by microsphere sintering 

      Reig, Lucía; Amigó Borrás, Vicente; Busquets Mataix, David Jerónimo; Calero Carretero, José Ángel Elsevier (2012-01)
      Two differently sized microspheres were sintered at 1300 °C and 1400 °C from 2 to 8 h in stoneware, alumina, yttria and zirconia moulds. Selecting the appropriate material to be used as a mould remains a critical issue ...
    • openAccess   Microstructure and Mechanical Behavior of Porous Ti–6Al–4V Processed by Spherical Powder Sintering 

      Reig, Lucía; Tojal Domenech, Concepción; Busquets Mataix, David Jerónimo; Amigó Borrás, Vicente MDPI (2013)
      Reducing the stiffness of titanium is an important issue to improve the behavior of this material when working together with bone, which can be achieved by generating a porous structure. The aim of this research was to ...
    • openAccess   Stiffness variation of porous titanium developed using space holder method 

      Reig, Lucía; Amigó Borrás, Vicente; Busquets Mataix, David Jerónimo; Calero Carretero, José Ángel Maney on behalf of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Nining (2011-07)
      The excellent properties of Ti have resulted in its generalised use for bone implants. However, Ti is very stiff in comparison with human cortical bone, and this creates problems of bone weakening and loosening of the ...
