A new β-Ti based Ti35Nb2.5Sn/10 hydroxyapitite（HA） biocompatible composite was fabricated by mechanical milling and pulsed current activated sintering（PCAS）.The microstructures of Ti35Nb2.5Sn/10HA powder particles and composites sintered from the milled powders were studied.Results indicated that α-Ti phase began to transform into β-Ti phase after the powders were mechanically milled for 8 h.After mechanical milling for 12 h,α-Ti completely transformed into β-Ti phase,and the ultra fine Ti35Nb2.5Sn/10HA composite powders were obtained.And ultra fine grain sized Ti35Nb2.5Sn/10HA sintered composites were obtained by PCAS.The hardness and relative density of the sintered composites both increased with increasing the ball milling time.
