Description In the present work, Ti foam has been synthesized employing powder metallurgy route. Irregular titanium powder particles were used as the matrix and acicular urea particles as the space holder. The distribution of the urea particles in the matrix of the compacted mass was observed to be fairly uniform. Pore morphology and compressive behavior of the resulting foam have been studied. The processed foam consisted of acicular porous regions of size up to 500 ;Cm. The porous regions contained a large number of micro-pores along with the occasional presence of coarse pores, the latter thought to be unhealed portions of the original acicular pores. The foam delineated a distinct plateau region with plateau stress of 275 MPa and energy absorption capacity of 55 MJ/m3.
