peer agreement (net): +4| sintered vitallium® alloy beads ...beads sintered... Explanation: I think in this case the beads are sintered. Definition: The bonding of adjacent surfaces of particles in a mass of powder or a compact by heating. Sintering strengthens a powder mass and normally produces densification and, in powdered metals, recrystallization. "...The prosthesis 101 is in the form of a porous biomaterial (e.g., Vitallium powder or F-75 cobaltbased alloy). The devise 101 consists of many, many particles of the biomaterial fused together by sintering at points of contact with each other to define a plurality of interconnected pores which permit bone ingrowth at the surface 1B, cartilage ingrowth at the surface 1A and nutrient flow therein. The pores are distributed through most of the porous prosthesis.
