Abstract
This chapter discusses the design, fabrication, mechanical properties, and biocompatibilities of Ti-6Al-4V cellular structures fabricated by the electron beam melting (EBM) technique. Stochastic foams and reticulated meshes with different porosities were used to reveal the underlying mechanisms, which determine the Young modulus, deformation behavior, and fatigue failure process. in vivo investigations indicated that EBM cellular structures not only exhibited desired mechanical properties but also good biocompatibility. The future development trends of Ti-6Al-4V cellular structures for biomedical applications were also discussed.
