## Abstract A biomimetic method was used to promote a bioactive surface on a cobalt base alloy (ASTM F‐75). The metallic substrates were alkali treated and some of the samples were subsequently heat treated. The treated samples were immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) on granular particles of ei

✦ Synopsis
The bioactive glass 45S5 was crystallized to 8-100 vol % of crystals by thermal treatments from 550-680°C. The microstructure of the glass-ceramics had a very uniform crystal size, ranging from 8 to 20 pm. Fourier-transform infrared (!?TIR) spectroscopy was used to determine the rate of hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCA) formation that occurs on bioactive glass and glass-ceramic implants when exposed to simulated body fluid (SBF) solutions. Crystallization did not inhibit development of a crystalline HCA layer, but the onset time of crystallization increased from 10 h for the parent glass to 22 h for 100% crystallized glass-ceramic. The rate of surface reactions was slower when the percentage of crystallization was a 60%.
