✦ Synopsis
Several factors playing a possible role in determining coating stability and bone tissue response were studied in in vivo experiments. These factors involving the plasmaspray coating procedure were as follows: 1) plasmaspray powder port 2 or 6; 2) particle size distribution; 3) hydroxylapatite versus fluorapatite coatings; and 4) the effect of post-heat treatment. Coating stability and bone tissue response were examined by measuring coating thickness, coating length, and bone apposition against the coatings. The result was that heat treatment influenced coating stability significantly. Also, bone formation was more intense. Fluorapatite proved to be more stable than hydroxylapatite, which was in agreement with our previous reports.

Calcium phosphate coatings on steel, obtained by the plasma-spray technique, were examined by x-ray diffraction in order to get some information on their crystallographic structure and crystallinity. Surface roughness values were also determined. These coatings are of interest for hip-prosthesis mat
Plasma spraying (PS) is the most frequently used coating technique for implants; however, in other industries a cheaper, more efficient process, high-velocity oxy-fuel thermal spraying (HVOF), is in use. This process provides higher purity, denser, more adherent coatings than plasma spraying. The pr
