Today, the ability to form porous structures and coatings from titanium powder on implants parts of specified porosity, size and morphology of pores into which newly formed bone tissues and, thus, they contribute to the osseointegration and high and long-term stability of the implant functioning in the body is widely used. The ability to obtain work pieces of complex geometry by powder metallurgy methods with a minimum of mechanical rework by cutting, it also promotes the diffusion of this technology in the implants manufacturing as the titanium alloys are classified as difficult to process. The future progress in the development of new materials and types of implants is directly related to powder metallurgy - there is information about the creation of a highly solid biocompatible composite based on the intermetallic system β-Ti3Au, from which rib replacement implants are made |
