Abstract

In recent years, coated implants have been actively researched and put to use in many biomedical engineering applications. The coating used on the implants is hydroxyapatite (HA), a calcium-phosphate compound with attractive bioactive and biocompatible properties that can enhance the fixation process of biomedical implants. Thermal spraying provides a potent means for depositing the HA coatings on implants. Among the popular thermal-spray techniques are combustion-flame spray, plasma spray, and high-velocity oxy-fuel spray. This article investigates the versatility of thermal-spray techniques to perform spheroidization of HA powders, the preparation of HA-based biocomposite powders and coatings, and the deposition of HA coatings.
