Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys has a potential for the application for bone implant material as it’s biocompatibility and mechanical properties that fit to natural bone. Mechanical properties of magnesium alloy may close to human bone once it composed and produced in a specific production route. Mechanical properties of Mg alloy may close to cancelluos bone. Fabrication of porous magnesium for bone scaffold material aims to reduce the rigidity and strength of the material with density that can be adjusted to the original nature of the bone. It forms interconected porosity, has physical and mechanical properties similar to cancelluos bone. In this paper we describe the production and characterization of porous magnesium material for the potential application as bone scaffold through powder metallurgy technique with pieces of Titanium wire space holder. Mg containing titanium pieces then compacted and sintered before immersed in hydrofluoride acid solution to form a porous structure of magnesium. Density and porosity, micro vickers hardness, micro structure test was performed to prove the evidence of porous structure inside the Mg metal. This results finds a good cooperation and has a potential application for the fabrication of an inter-connected porous magnesium samples for cancellous bone implant.Keyword: Porous Magnesium, cancellous bone, implant, bone scaffold, titanium wire

AbstractMicrostructural changes that result in relevant improvements in mechanical properties and electrochemical behavior can be induced using different sintering conditions of ASTM F75 cobalt alloys during their processing using powder metallurgy technique. It has been observed that the increase in carbon and nitrogen content improves corrosion resistance and mechanical properties as long as the precipitation of carbides and nitrides is avoided, thanks to the use of rapid cooling in water after the sintering stage. In addition, the reduction of the particle size of the powder improves hardness and resistance to corrosion in both acid medium with chlorides and phosphate-buffered medium that simulates the physiological conditions for its use as a biomaterial. These results lead to increased knowledge of the role of carbon and nitrogen content in the behavior displayed by the different alloys studied.

In this study, K417G Ni-based superalloy with a 20-mm gap was successfully bonded at 1200 °C using powder metallurgy with a powder mixture. The results indicated that the microstructure and mechanical properties of the as-bonded alloy were highly dependent on the brazing time (15–45 min), mainly due to the precipitation and distribution characteristics of M3B2 boride particles. Specifically, alloy brazed for 30 min exhibited desirable mechanical properties, such as a high tensile ultimate strength of 971 MPa and an elongation at fracture of 6.5% at room temperature, exceeding the balance value (935 MPa) of the base metal. The excellent strength and plasticity were mainly due to coherent strengthening and dispersion strengthening of the in situ spherical and equiaxed M3B2 boride particles in the γ + γ′ matrix. In addition, the disappearance of dendrites and the homogenization of the microstructure are other factors that cannot be excluded. This powder metallurgy technique, which can avoid the eutectic transformation of traditional brazing, provides a new effective method for wide-gap repair of alloy materials.

Tronohs raw sand was converted into fine silica particles via a series of milling process. Addition of these fine particles into iron composite was found to modify its mechanical properties. The composite was prepared using powder metallurgy technique with varying percentage of silica particles; 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25wt%. The composites were sintered at three different temperatures; 1000° C, 1100° C and 1200° C to find the most suitable sintering temperature. Changes in density and hardness were observed. The results showed that composite consist of 20wt% silica particles and sintered at 1100° C exhibits best improvement.

Metal matrix-particulate composites fabricated by using powder metallurgy possess a higher dislocation density, a small sub-grain size and limited segregation of particles, which, when combined, result in superior mechanical properties. The present study aims to develop iron based silica sand nanoparticles composites with improved mechanical properties. An iron based silica sand nanoparticles composite with 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt.% of nanoparticles silica sand were developed through powder metallurgy technique. It was observed that by addition of silica sand nanoparticles with 20 wt.% increased the hardness up to 95HRB and tensile strength up to 690MPa. Sintered densities and electrical conductivity of the composites were improved with an optimum value of 15 wt.% silica sand nanoparticles. Proposed mechanism is due to diffusion of silica sand nanoparticles into porous sites of the composites.

Silica-calcium phosphate nanocomposite (SCPC) has a superior bone regenerative capacity and resorbability when compared to hydroxyapatie (HA) and bioactive glass [1–2]. Synthesis of SCPC bioceramics with superior mechanical properties has been an important and challenging issue. Ideally, the mechanical strength of the orthopedic implantat should be comparable to that of the host-bone in order to provide structural support and minimize stress shielding. The compressive strength of trabecular bone ranges from 2–12 MPa and that of cortical bone varies in the range of 100–230 MPa [3]. The aim of the present study is to study the effect of processing parameters on the mechanical properties of SCPC cylinders prepared by powder metallurgy technique. The mechanical properties were correlated to the microstructure of SCPC prepared under different processing conditions.

The WC-Co, WC-Co-VC and WC-Co-C samples are fabricated using powder metallurgy technique. The mixed powder is compacted under the pressure of 625 MPa, cold-isostatic pressed at 200 MPa and sintered at temperature in the range of 1350 – 1450°C nitrogen-based atmosphere. The mechanical properties of the samples are analyzed using Vicker’s microhardness tester, universal tensile machine and scanning electron microscope. Test results reveal that WC-Co-C sample has better mechanical properties as compared to WC-Co and WC-Co-VC due to the formation of homogeneous and dense structure.

Trabecular bone, widely presented in the ends of long bones and chine, is a typically porous structure which provides a multifunction such as light weight, undertaking load, impact energy buffer and hosting marrow cells. The structure of trabecular is a dominant factor for the strength of cancellous bone. The prediction of the trabecular bone’s mechanical properties depending on the trabecular structure is very useful for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis. The object of this study is to establish a relationship between the mechanical properties and topological, morphological parameters of trabecular bone. The 50 3-D data of cancellous bone are selected from the CT images of three caput femurs and disposed in BoneJ, through which the BV/TV, SMI and genus parameters of each samples are obtained. The deformation behaviors of trabecular bone are simulated in ABAQUS through uniaxial compression on the 3-D model derived from stack images. Then linear-regression analyses are conducted on the BV/TV, genus, SMI and apparent Young’s modulus, resulting a high correlation (R^2=0.84) between the Young’s modulus and the hybrid parameter derived from SMI and normalized genus, corresponding to morphological and topological parameter of the samples respectively. The result indicates that it’s promising to establish the relationship between mechanical properties of trabecular bone and their topological and morphological parameters.

Micro-porous nickel (Ni) with an open cell structure was fabricated by a special powder metallurgical process, which includes the adding of a space-holding material. The average pore size of the micro-porous Ni samples approximated 30 μm and 150 μm, and the porosity ranged from 60 % to 80 %. The porous characteristics of the Ni samples were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the mechanical properties were evaluated using compressive tests. For comparison, porous Ni samples with a macro-porous structure prepared by both powder metallurgy (pore size 800 μm) and the traditional chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method (pore size 1300 μm) were also presented. Results indicated that the porous Ni samples with a micro-porous structure exhibited different deformation behaviour and dramatically increased mechanical properties, compared to those of the macro-porous Ni samples.
