Abstract
This research aims to develop porous titanium–zirconium alloy for implant applications by the liquid metal dealloying method. The results indicated the formation of a homogeneous three-dimensional porous morphology with a density of 3 ± 0.3 g/cm3. The XRD analysis shows that the porous titanium–zirconium alloy is a single-phase hcp solid solution. The unique porous scaffold can be introduced as a promising candidate for dental implants owing to bone-like elastic modulus of 3.5 GPa and compressive strength of 550 MPa. The Ashby-type diagram confirms the achievement of new biomaterial with a good combination of high strength and low stiffness.
