Porous Ti-6Al-4V alloys are widely used in the biomedical applications for hard tissue implantation due to its biocompatibility and elastic modulus being close to that of bone. In this study, porous Ti-6Al-4V alloys were produced with a powder metallurgical process, space holder technique, where magnesium powders were utilized in order to generate porosities in the range of 50 to 70 vol. %.
In the productions of Ti-6Al-4V foams, first, the spherical Ti-6Al-4V powders with an average size of 55 &mu / m were mixed with spherical magnesium powders sieved to an average size of 375 &mu / m, and then the mixtures were compacted with a hydraulic press under 500 MPa pressure by using a double-ended steel die and finaly, the green compacts were sintered at 1200
