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 versu

Abstract
Factors involved with the plasma‐spray coating procedure, such as starting powder compound (fluorapatite, hydroxylapatite, magnesium‐whitlockite, or tetra‐calcium phosphate), powder particle distribution 1–45 or 1–125 (μm), powder port gun (port 2 or 6), and post–heat treatment of 1 h at 600°C, were examined for their effects on crystallinity and solubility/stability of the coating. From solubility tests, X‐ray diffractometry, and scanning microscopy studies, the solubility and crystallinity were found to be dependent on Ca/P ratio, particle distribution, and post‐heat treatment. The post‐heat treatment influenced the degree of both crystallinity and solubility. The plasma‐spray powder port factor for the hydroxylapatite coatings was not significant. Incubation in buffer of the coatings introduced precipitation at the surfaces of all non–heat‐treated coatings except fluorapatite. No precipitation could be observed in any of the heat‐treated coatings. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

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
