Titanium foam made with saccharose as a space holder
Source abstract
Abstract
In this work we show a very promising method of titanium foam preparation with saccharose crystals (table sugar) as a space holder particles. The mixture of Ti and sugar particles was compacted to form a green compacts. In the next step the saccharose crystals were dissolved in the water, leaving open spaces surrounded by metallic scaffold. The sintering of the scaffold leads to foam with typical morphology and porosity. We found that 1:1 Ti/sugar ratio leads to porosities of about 72 % with pore diameter of about 0.8–1.0 mm, when we used 0.8–1.0 mm diameter sugar crystals. The foams morphology was investigated by SEM, porosity and internal structure was investigated using computed tomography and the structure was shown using XRD. The foam morphology pointed theirs potential applications in medical as well as catalyst devices.
