Mechanical properties of powder titanium at different production stages. II. Mechanical behavior of porous titanium compacts

The mechanical behavior of porous titanium compacts is analyzed. Four-point bending, compression, and Brazilian tests of the samples are conducted. The influence of the porosity and particle size of the initial powder on Young's modulus, ultimate strength, and strain-to-failure of porous titanium is examined. The dependence of the strength and plasticity of compacts on their porosity is analyzed using different tests.
