Hydroxyapatite coatings for biomedical applications deposited by different thermal spray techniques
Surface & Coatings Technology
Gadow, R. ,Killinger, A.,Stiegler, N.
Thermally sprayed hydroxyapatite (HAp) coatings are widely used for various biomedical applications due to the fact that HAp is a bioactive, osteoconductive material capable of forming a direct and firm biological fixation with surrounding bone tissue.Bioceramic coatings based on nanoscale HAp suspension and microscale HAp powder were thermally sprayed on Ti plates by high-velocity suspension flame spraying (HVSFS) technique and atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) as well as high velocity oxy fuel spraying (HVOF) technique. HVSFS is a novel thermal spray process developed at IMTCCC, for direct processing of submicron and nano-sized particles dispersed in a liquid feedstock.The deposited coatings were mechanically characterized including surface roughness, micro hardness and coating porosity. The bond strength of the layer composites were analyzed by the pull-off method and compared for the different spray techniques. Phase content and crystallinity of the coatings were evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The coating composite specimen and initial feedstock were further analysed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and rheology analysis.
