Abstract :In this study, synthesis of Ti3AlC2 MAX and Ti3C2Tx MXene alloy powders was carried out, followed by the production and characterization of porous structures of Ti3AlC2 MAX and Ti3C2Tx MXene alloys for biomedical applications, for instance, MAX and MXene alloys can be utilized as composites for implants or grafts. MAX alloy foams were produced using the space holder method to investigate apatite formation using simulated body fluid. Subsequently, MXene alloy foams were synthesized via chemical etching using the produced MAX alloy foams. MAX and MXene foams, after being immersed in simulated body fluid for 1, 5, 15, and 25 days, were characterized using SEM, XRD, and EDS techniques to examine the formation of apatite.Keywords : MAX Alloy, MXene Alloy, Foams, Apatite
