Porous magnesium materials appear to be promising candidates for scaffold production. In this work we prepared porous magnesium samples by powder metallurgy using ammonium bicarbonate as space-holder particles. We focused on the influence of the magnesium powder size and shape on product characteristics. Samples prepared using magnesium chips showed significantly worse flexural properties than samples with similar porosities prepared from an equi-axed magnesium powder. Therefore, we can conclude that spherical particles are more suitable for the preparation of porous objects by powder metallurgy.
