## Abstract Bioceramic coatings like hydroxyapatite (HA) have shown promising bioactive properties in loadβbearing implant applications. The aim of this work is to deposit functionally graded HA/Ti layers consisting of an underlying Ti bond coat, the alternating layer, and an HA topβlayer on Ti6Al4

The long-term stability of hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings has been under investigation for a long time. The evaluation of crystallinity is important since a relationship exists between the degree of crystallinity and the degradation by in vitro cellular reaction. However, the choice of a representativ
An intramedullary implant model in the canine femora was developed to evaluate the mechanical and histological responses between cancellous bone and plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite coatings (HACs) on Ti-6A1-4V implants, with 12-and 24-week follow-ups. HACs of different thicknesses were investigated. R
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
