摘要
With the potential to display pseudoelasticity and the shape memory effect, porous NiTi is promising for biomedical implant applications. Here, open porous NiTi is fabricated by metal injection moulding (MIM) of elemental Ni and Ti powders, followed by thermal debinding and transient liquid phase (TLP) sintering. The material produced has porosity of 39-45% and average pore size 100-120 mu m. A sintering temperature above 1050 degrees C is needed to allow sufficient interdiffusion to have substantially NiTi (B2) phase and avoid phases such as NiTi2 and Ni3Ti with poor mechanical properties, and at 1250 degrees C sintering reduces the amount and size of porosity.
