TiNi porous alloys were prepared as artificial bone by Self-propagation High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) in order to develop new bio-materials. The mixture of titanium and nickel powder was ignited under the atmosphere of argon gas. TiNi porous alloys with different microstructure were obtained by various ignition models such as preheating and heat explosion. SEM and XRD were used to analyses pore characteristics and phase structures of samples. The results show that SHS is a useful method to prepare TiNi porous alloys.
