β¦ Synopsis
Hydroxyapatite coatings have been used for many years on dental and prosthetic implants to provide a biocompatible surface for tong-term fixation of the implant to bone. In this study two thermal spraying processes, air plasma spraying (APS) and a high velocity oxy fuel process (CDS) have been employed to produce hydroxyapatite coatings. An X-ray diffraction technique (XRD) has been applied to measure the residual stresses in thermal sprayed hydroxyapatite coatings. It has been shown that such stresses are sensitive to spraying parameters and that the newer high velocity oxy fuel spraying process results in lower residual stresses than the conventional air plasma spraying process. Heat treatment of the coating has been shown to significantly reduce the residual stress in the coating.

Residual stresses in plasma-sprayed A1203 layers were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction with Cr and Cu radiation. No stress gradient was indicated in the surface layers of the alumina coatings within the range of the penetration depth of the applied radiation. Different stress values were o
Plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on titanium alloy are often used in prosthetic implants. The metallic substrate gives the implant good mechanical strength which is combined with good biocompatibility and osteointegration of the ceramic coating. However, the interface between the HA coati
