Medical equipment including as catheters, pacemakers, and stone removal mesh have shown to be great candidates for nickel titanium alloys. However, there are some issues with the shape and size alterations that are required to meet the requirements of the applications. Porosity for bone replacement, radiopacity, super elasticity, and fatigue strength are all areas where the alloy could be improved. Biocompatible Porous NiTi alloys have a wide range of applications in the areas of interbody fusion devices, synthetic bone grafting, and so on. Although, because porous NiTi alloys have a larger surface area in contact with bodily fluids than solid NiTinol, the prospect of a higher corrosion factor cannot be ruled out. In such circumstances, specific surface preparation is required to meet the demand for greater biocompatibility. This research examines the synthesis of porous NiTi alloys via the sintering process, as well as the effects of surface treatments on the corrosion properties of Porous NiTinol. Different treatments were applied to the alloys, including dry heating, boiling in water, and passivation. The corrosion resistance was measured after and before the treatments. The researchers found that NiTi alloys can be used for interbody fusions and can be built into a variety of useful components for biomedical implant replacements.
