The amorphous phase content of air plasmasprayed hydroxyapatite coatings is dependent upon spraying and deposition conditions. X-ray diffraction and optical microscopy were used to investigate the influence of spray parameters on the formation of the amorphous phase. Results show three factors which

## Abstract The clinical use of plasmaβsprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on metal implants has been widely adopted because the HA coating can achieve the firmly and directly biological fixation with the surrounding bone tissue. However, the longβterm mechanical properties of HA coatings has been
Highly oriented hydroxyapatite coatings (HACs) were obtained on titanium substrates through a radio-frequency thermal plasma spraying (TPS) method. XRD patterns showed that the HACs had crystallites with [001] preferred orientation vertical to the coating's surface. XRD results also indicated that t
A method to measure the amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) content of plasma sprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings is presented. The areas of the crystalline peaks and the broad amorphous "hump" in an X-ray diffraction scan of a mixture of crystalline and amorphous HA can be fitted using conventional
