Effect of Electrodeposited Hydroxyapatite Coatings on Biomedical Titanium by Cathode Revolving
The paper deals with a kind of new method of the electro-deposition on titanium by a cathode revolves. The depositing characteristic and mechanic were studied by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The experimental results show that the more fine uniformity and compact calcium phosphate bioactive coatings could be produced, compared with the conventional methods. The gradient Coating, which is fine inside and porous outside, could be obtained by controlling revolving velocity. The coating would transform to the hydroxyapatite after heat-treatment. After soaking in a simulated body fluid (SBF), nano-depositions were formed on the surface of the coating, then those particles would grow up needle-like, net-like, and an apatite-like layer could be observed finally. The gradient porosity coatings produced by cathode revolving electrochemical deposition would have high anti-dissolution and bioactive.
