abstract = {Up to date, the intention to make cost-effective titanium parts by PM is a challenge. One of the main issues is the presence of interstitials. Oxygen modifies the mechanical properties of titanium alloys by decreasing its ductility when a certain amount is exceeded. However, very little is known about the impact of oxygen on the fatigue properties of MIM titanium. Ti-Al-7Nb is an attractive alloy to use in powder metallurgy (PM) due to its biocompatibility and mechanical properties sufficient for load bearing medical implants. This study will contribute to the field by studying the effect of oxygen on the fatigue behaviour of MIM Ti-6Al-7Nb. Thus, it will be possible to evaluate which measures are necessary to take in order to control oxygen presence. On the other hand, another issue in PM titanium is the impact of residual porosity on mechanical behaviour. Under cyclic forces, pores act as crack initiation sites. This study will present the impact of residual porosity on fatigue properties of MIM Ti-6Al-7Nb. Then, it will be possible to have an idea of the efforts that are necessary to make in order to control residual porosity with respect to cost efficiency.},
