## Abstract Over the years hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings have been used to improve biologic properties of Tiβbased load bearing metal implants. However, applicability of HA coated implants is subjected to physical stability of the HA phase and mechanical integrity of the coatingβsubstrate interface.
## Abstract Recent results indicate varying degrees of bone ingrowth into porous metal and ceramic bodies. Such homogeneously porous ceramic and metal implants generally possess inadequate mechanical properties, limiting their application to low stress or nonstructural applications. An experiment w
