Abstract
A comparative analysis of the friction coefficient of pure and porous titanium was carried out through wear tests conducted both in dry friction conditions and using a bovine serum lubricant friction conditions. The microstructure, wear mechanism and three-dimensional topography of
the two specimens were studied. In pure and porous titanium, the results show that the friction coefficient, wear volume and roughness were higher in dry friction than in the presence of lubrication for both pure and porous titanium. However, in dry friction and bovine serum lubricant tested,
the resistance of pure titanium was higher than that of porous titanium.
