Abstract

Titanium-based materials have received great research interest this is mainly due to their promising specific strength, thermal stability, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. Porous titanium has been shown to exhibit desirable properties as biomedical materials. Ti-Sn-SiC composites of different compositions were synthesized through mixing Ti, Sn and SiC powders. The study was carried out by blending and cold-pressing followed by sintering at a 1400°C. Microstructures of the materials were studied using an optical microscope (OP) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To investigate structural development and phase transformation, x-ray diffraction (XRD) was performed. A porous Ti-Sn-SiC composite was achieved which is favorable for biomedical application.
