Manufacturing of graded titanium scaffolds using a novel space holder technique
To optimize both the mechanical and biological properties of titanium for biomedical implants, a highly flexible powder metallurgy approach is proposed to generate porous scaffolds with graded porosities and pore sizes. Sugar pellets acting as space holders were compacted with titanium powder and th...
