Abstract:Hydroxyapatite (HAp) coating electrodeposition was performed on three orthogonal surfaces of duplex-annealed Ti6Al4V alloy. This approach made it possible to investigate the effect of substrate crystallographic texture on hydroxyapatite coating properties exclusively from its microstructure. The coating characteristics were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, laser surface profilometry, and potentiodynamic polarization test. The results showed … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
