Abstract

HA coatings on Ti-6Al-4V substrate were prepared using a duplex process: plasma spraying and hydrothermal synthesis. The microstructure, phase composition, and bond strength of the coatings before and after immersed in physiological saline were investigated and compared with plasma-sprayed HA coatings. The results indicate that the as-sprayed CaHPO4 coatings consists of β-Ca2P2O7 and α-Ca3(PO4)2, and can be entirely converted to HA coatings with high purity and crystallinity. The degradation of the solubility and bond strength of the hydrothermal synthesized coatings are much lower than those of plasma-sprayed HA coatings when immersed in physiological saline for a period of time. It implies that the duplex prepared HA coatings may have a good structural and mechanical stability in vitro.
