      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 ...
