The metal/ ceramic interface that constitutes an important part of the plasma-sprayed HA-coated Ti-6A1-4V system may, in fact, represent the "weak link in the implant design. A post-plasma-spray heat treatment to enhance chemical bonding at the metal/ ceramic interface and, hence, improve the mechan

The corrosion behavior of four different preparations of plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on Ti6Al4V substrates in static Hank's balanced salt solution was investigated using dc potentiodynamic and ac impedance techniques. Two different nominal thicknesses, 50 microm and 200 microm, and t
## Abstract A porous metal coating applied to solid substrate implants has been shown, __in vivo__, to anchor implants by bone ingrowth. Calcium phosphate ceramics, in particular hydroxyapatite [Ca~10~(PO~4~)~6~(OH)~2~, HA], are bioactive ceramics, which are known to be biocompatible and osteocondu
## Abstract We have evaluated the __inβvitro__ biocompatibility of Ti6Al4V alloy coated by plasma spraying with an identical alloy. These surfaces are widely used in cementless prosthetic components, although osteoblasts behavior on this treated alloy has not been evaluated to date. Cross sectional
