Abstract

Plasma sprayed Hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings are applied to metal prostheses to allow for implant fixation through chemical bonding of the coating with surrounding bone tissue. Without a well-adhering coating, this fixation is threatened. Thus, a thorough characterization of the metal / ceramic interface is necessary. This study used a novel composite short bar interfacial fracture toughness technique with high resolution electron spectroscopic imaging to examine Ti-6AI-4V plasma spray coated with 100μm of HA. For this system, an interfacial fracture toughness value of 1.31 +/− 0.08 MPa·m1/2 was obtained, with a corresponding tensile adhesive bond strength of 6.7 +/− 1.5 MPa. High resolution ESI revealed distinct phosphorous segregation to the interface and diffusion into the underlying titanium. A 24-hour post-heat treatment at 960°C greatly increased the bond strength at this interface. Observations from ESI suggested that this effect may be due to enhanced diffusion of both phosphorous and calcium into the metal substrate.
