The present study has, as main goal, the processing of the Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy (percentages in weight) using the space-holder powder metallurgy technique, to obtain scaffolds for osseointegration. Firstly, elementary powders of Ti, Nb, and Zr weighted to obtain the 74wt.%Ti+13wt.%Nb+13wt.%Zr composition were milled in Fritsch Pulverisette and SPEX mills, using grinding media of tungsten carbide. In all millings, isopropyl alcohol was used to evaluate and optimize its application as process controlling agent. It was observed that the isopropyl alcohol was efficient as process controlling agent, and that the milling by 8 hours in a SPEX mill allowed the production of a pre-alloyed powder with the 74wt.%Ti+13wt.%Nb+13wt.%Zr composition in all particles. The powders produced in the Fritsch Pulverisette mill were pressed, and the obtained green bodies were sintered in several time and temperature conditions. All the samples sintered in the present work were characterized using SEM-EDX, XRD, XRF, optical microscopy, quantitative metallography, and microhardness test. It was observed that the samples sintered at 1000°C for one hour presented the highest porosity, around 30% for the alcohol condition, presenting a microhardness of 981 MPa, not so distant of the values found for samples sintered using other conditions. The powder milled in the SPEX mill for 8 hours, and the niobium powder, were mixed with naphtalene powder (50% in volume), pressed and sintered using the less aggressive sintering conditions. Besides the characterization techniques already cited, these samples were also characterized by Archimedes test and He picnometry, to evaluate the porosity. From these studies, it could be observed that the naphtalene, with particle size ranging from 500 μm to 1 mm, produced samples with 30 to 50% of porosity in volume, and allowed the formation of a structure of large and interconnected pores. It could be concluded that it is possible to obtain scaffolds of the Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy using the techniques developed in the present work.
