Porous-coated Ti-6A1-4V has a fatigue strength approximately one-third that of the uncoated alloy. The interfacial geometry between the porous coating and the implant substrate is notchlike, leading to stress concentrations that have been shown to be the main cause for the reduction in fatigue stren
