Manufacturing of porous titanium using friction stir welding

In this research, a new cost-effective method is introduced for the first time to manufacture a porous titanium scaffold for implant applications. Initially, titanium and zinc plates were joined by Friction Stir Welding (FSW) method. Then, dezincification was done by immersion of the jointed samples in a hydrochloric acid solution (HCl). The results showed that after dealloying a porous titanium structure with open and interconnected morphology was successfully fabricated
