## Abstract Open‐pore titanium foams are produced using the so‐called space holder method. The mechanical properties of titanium foams with porosities of 50–80% are studied. The stiffness and yield strength of the foams are found to encompass the property range between cancellous bone and cortical

## Abstract Good surface properties and biocompatibility are crucial to porous NiTi shape memory alloys (SMA) used in medical implants, as possible nickel release from porous NiTi may cause deleterious effects in the human body. In this work, oxygen plasma immersion ion implantation (O‐PIII) was us
ZrN is deposited on electropolished NiTi shape memory alloy to enhance the surface properties. The microstructure, mechanical properties, and blood compatibility are evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), nanoindentation, hem
## Abstract NiTi shape memory alloy is one of the promising orthopedic materials due to the unique shape memory effect and superelasticity. However, the large amount of Ni in the alloy may cause allergic reactions and toxic effects thereby limiting its applications. In this work, the surface of NiT
