Titanium Porous Structures Components

Our Titanium Porous Structures Components merge material science with functional design, featuring interconnected pore networks that mimic natural bone trabeculae or honeycomb architectures. Engineered via advanced additive manufacturing and sintering technologies, these components offer tunable porosity (30-85%), precise pore size control (100-1000μm), and customizable mechanical properties—setting new standards for lightweight strength, biocompatibility, and fluid dynamics.

Microstructural Mastery for Multifunctional Performance

BYC Ti leverages proprietary powder bed fusion and slurry infiltration techniques to create:

• Open-Cell Lattices: Ideal for gas diffusion and heat exchange, with permeability up to 90% of theoretical maximum

• Gradient Porosity Grids: Transitioning from dense to porous layers for optimized stress distribution

• Anisotropic Structures: Directional pore alignment enhancing specific mechanical properties

Each structure undergoes thermal post-processing to ensure uniform necking between titanium particles, achieving tensile strengths from 80-450MPa while maintaining densities as low as 0.3g/cm³.

Industry Applications: Where Porosity Drives Functionality

Medical Implants & Tissue Engineering

• Osseointegrated Hip Implants: 600μm pores promote bone ingrowth, reducing stress shielding

• Spinal Fusion Cages: Gradient porosity matches vertebral body stiffness for natural load transfer

• Tissue Scaffolds: 3D-printed channels guide vascularization and cell proliferation

Aerospace & Energy

• Heat Exchanger Cores: Interconnected pores enable 300% higher heat transfer than solid titanium

• Satellite Radiators: Lightweight lattice structures dissipate thermal loads in vacuum environments

• Turbine Blade Cooling Channels: Porous internal structures enhance convective cooling efficiency

Environmental & Chemical Processing

• Catalyst Support Structures: High specific surface area (up to 25m²/g) maximizes reaction kinetics

• Water Filtration Modules: Gradient pore sizes trap particulates while minimizing pressure drop

• Gas Separation Membranes: Pore diameters controlled to 50nm for selective molecular passage
