Abstract

The aim of this research work was to study the microstructure of porous CP Ti with dextrin addition obtained by Powder Metallurgy, aimed for endosseous implants. Powder mixtures of CP Ti with 35 vol.% dextrin with different particle sizes were pressed with 400 MPa and sintered in two different conditions. The sintering behavior and microstructures were investigated by means of differential thermal calorimetry, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results are helpful for the optimization of the processing cycle of Ti - dextrin powder mixtures..
