Porous titanium boasts exceptional advantages in lightweight construction, mechanical performance, and functional adaptability. Through the incorporation of enhancing agents, its capabilities can be profoundly augmented, thereby broadening the scope of its potential applications. This investigation explores the impact of TiC as a reinforcing additive on the porosity, pore morphology, both macro- and microscale structures, as well as the mechanical properties of porous titanium. The findings reveal that with increasing TiC content, micro-pores within the composite progressively reduce in number, while the larger, macroscopic pores exhibit smaller variation. When the TiC addition amount is 6 wt%, the mechanical properties of the composite porous material reach their optimum, with a Vickers hardness of 566.74, which is 165.32% higher than that of the porous pure titanium sample. At the same time, the initial yield strength reached 156.45 MPa. |
