A new method was successfully developed to improve porous titanium with thicker struts. There are two steps for this method. Firstly, the raw porous titanium with ~90% porosity was made by traditional polymeric sponge coating; then, the raw porous titanium was coated by a thin slurry to get thicker struts. It was called 'Double Coating'. After treatment by double coating, the mechanical properties of porous titanium were improved significantly. The compressive strength was increased from 10.33±3.3MPa to 35.5±7MPa, making the material useful for load-bearing applications.
