## Abstract Porous compacts with both biological and biomechanical compatibilities and high strength were developed. Spherical powders of Ti‐6Al‐4V alloy, which were either as received or surface modified with the use of calcium ions by hydrothermal treatment (HTT), were fabricated by a spark plasm
Ti‐6Al‐4V alloy has attracted increasing applications as a metallic biomaterial in recent years thanks to its good corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. However, the poor corrosion‐wear resistance of the alloy is thus a major concern to potential users. In this paper, the electrochemical noise
