... cells, blood capillaries, and soft tissue. In this work, hydroxylapatite coatings were deposited by atmospheric plasma spraying on titanium alloy substrates, and characterized by synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The deposition parameters...

...Robert B. Heimann; Horst J. Pentinghaus; Richard Wirth Abstract 2:1-mullite coatings of (17–23) ± 6 μm thickness were deposited by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) onto flat aluminium coupons. Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) showed that the coatings immediately adjacent...

... ) are employed and demonstrate linear wear rates <1 μm/year. Currently, coating the metal stem of hip endoprosthetic implants by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) of hydroxylapatite powder with particle diameters of tens to hundreds of micrometers is the most popular, and the only Food and Drug...
