Abstract

The purpose of this work is to evaluate the effects of post-deposition heat treatments on high and low crystallinity hydroxyapatite coatings on Ti6Al4V alloy. HA layers were produced by the vacuum plasma spray (VPS) technique, and the desired degrees of crystallinity were obtained by changing the deposition parameters. An analysis of the mechanical properties of the coatings and their adhesion to the substrate has been done by shear strength test. X-ray diffraction analysis was used to detect the structure and the chemical components in which HA dissociates during the deposition process and heat treatments. The data obtained indicates that heat treatments can increase the crystallinity of HA, but they also introduce a mechanical degradation of the coatings. After heat treatments, it was also observed that a large amount of tetracalcium phosphate was formed.
