Microstructure and Mechanical Behavior of Porous Ti–6Al–4V Processed by Spherical Powder Sintering

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 analyze the porosity and mechanical behavior of Ti–6Al–4V porous samples develope...
