Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive review on the mechanism of pore formation, mechanical properties, and applications of metallic porous materials. The different manufacturing techniques of metallic porous materials using various pore-forming agents (e.g., sodium chloride, polymethyl methacrylate, magnesium, and cenosphere) are highlighted in the first part of this review. Subsequently, the pore formation mechanism and pore morphology in final products as well as corresponding pore-forming agent removal techniques (e.g., sintering-dissolution process, thermally stimulated decomposition, thermally melted elimination, and embedding cenosphere technique) are specifically discussed. Then, some major influential factors on the mechanism of pore formation, including pore size, shape, distribution, and porosity, are analyzed in detail. Meanwhile, the primary mechanical properties such as compressive strength, elastic modulus, fatigue properties, and flexural strength of metallic porous materials depending on pore morphology and porosity are explored in detail. Furthermore, their applications in structural and functional aspects according to their pore morphology and mechanical properties are emphatically summarized. Finally, this review article highlights some important factors for advanced wear-resistant tool and biomedical implant applications of porous metallic materials.
