Özet
In this study, Fe-Ti-based composite materials reinforced with varying amounts of EggShell (3-13 wt.%) were fabricated and sintered at 750 degrees C under an argon atmosphere. Six different compositions were prepared by gradually decreasing Fe and Ti content while increasing the EggShell ratio. The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of bioceramic (CaCO3-based) EggShell addition on the microstructural evolution, densification behavior, and potential biofunctionality of the Fe-Ti matrix. The sintering process was carried out in an inert argon atmosphere to prevent oxidation and to ensure controlled diffusion between phases. Preliminary results suggest that the EggShell addition alters the phase composition and porosity, potentially improving the biocompatibility and tailoring the mechanical properties of the composites. These findings may contribute to the development of cost-effective, eco-friendly, and biocompatible materials for biomedical or structural applications.
