Abstract
Electron beam melting (EBM) has been used to manufacture β-type Ti–24Nb–4Zr–8Sn porous components with 70% porosity. EBM-produced components have favorable structural features (i.e. smooth strut surfaces, fewer defects) and an (α + β)-type microstructure, similar to that subjected to aging treatment. EBM-produced components exhibit more than twice the strength-to-modulus ratio of porous Ti–6Al–4V components having the same porosity. The processing–microstructure–property relationship and deformation behavior of EBM-produced components are discussed in detail. Such porous titanium components composed of non-toxic elements and having high strength-to-modulus ratio are highly attractive for biomedical applications.
