X-ray computer tomography (CT) is fast becoming an accepted tool within the materials
science community for the acquisition of 3D images. Here the authors review the current …

Design an implant similar to the human bone is one of the critical problems in bone tissue
engineering. Metal porous scaffolds have good prospects in bone tissue replacement due to …

Titanium and its alloys are commonly used in almost all disciplines of medicine because of
their sufficient biocompatibility and meeting of mechanical requirements. However, dense …

Over the last decade, significant effort has been devoted to the applications of hierarchically
structured porous materials owing to their outstanding properties such as high surface area …

Porous biomaterials have been widely used in a variety of orthopedic applications. Porous
scaffolds stimulate the cellular responses and accelerate osteogenesis. The porous …

Abstract Selective Laser Melting (SLM) was used to fabricate scaffolds using the titanium
alloy Ti–6Al–4V. Two types of high porosity open-cell structures were manufactured: the first …

Porous metals have been under development for nearly a century, but commercial adoption
remains limited. This development has followed two primary routes: liquid state or solid state …

One shortcoming of metals and alloys used to fabricate various components of orthopaedic
systems, such as the femoral stem of a total hip joint replacement and the tibial plate of a …

Porous titanium implants are a common choice for bone augmentation. Implants for spinal
fusion and repair of non-union fractures must encourage blood flow after implantation so that …

Finite element simulations were conducted to investigate the dynamic responses of metallic
sandwich spherical shells with graded aluminum foam cores under inner blast loading. The …
