Compound ceramic coatings were prepared on Ti-6Al-4V allosy by pulsed bi-polar Micro-plasma Oxidation (MPO) in NaAlO2(S1) and Na2SiO3(S2) solution respectively. The coated samples were calcined in argon under 1000 oC. The phase composition,morphology and element content of the ceramic coatings were investigated by XRD, SEM and XRF. After oxidation in argon, The Al2TiO5 of S1 coating surface was decomposed into Al2O3. SiO2 was crystalized in S2 coating with the final proportion of SiO2 to TiO2 on the coating surface is 81:18. The morphology of the ceramic coatings after the calcination was also different. S1 coatings calcined in argon were fine, grains and pores were smaller and were combined tightly with the substrate, on the contrary, S2 coatings calcined in argon cracked on the coating surface and were separated with the substrate. The content of elements in the coatings both changed a little, which may be due to the reaction of the substrate in the oxidation. According to the phase composition and the morphology of the coatings, S1 coatings are better than S2 coatings.

Ceramic coatings with the main crystalline of TiO2 were prepared on Ti-6Al-4V alloy by pulsed bi-polar Micro-arc Oxidation (MAO) in Na2SiO3 solution. The coated samples were calcined in argon under 1000oC. The phase composition, morphology and element content of the ceramic coatings were investigated by XRD, SEM and EDS. The results showed that the main components of the coatings are TiO2 and amorphous substances, after oxidation in argon, SiO2 was crystalized in coating. The content of elements in the coatings both changed a little.

Duty ratio is a key factor during micro-plasma oxidation process. Its influences on structure and corrosion resistance of ceramic coatings on Ti–6Al–4V by pulsed bi-polar MPO in NaAlO2 solution were investigated. The ceramic coatings were composed of Al2TiO5, α-Al2O3 and rutile TiO2, of which Al2TiO5 was the main crystalline. The coating can be divided into a porous outer layer and a dense inner layer. Compared with the condition of the same duty ratio for both pulses, the rise of anode duty ratio (D1) led to an increase in the amount of Al2TiO5 and α-Al2O3 and increased the thickness of the coating; whereas the rise of cathode duty ratio (D2) led to a decrease in the amount of α-Al2O3 and decreased the thickness of the coating. Besides, the corrosion resistance of the coated samples was better than that of Ti-6Al-4V substrate. When D1 / D2 = 60 / 30, the produced coating’s corrosion resistance was best.

Compound ceramic coatings with the main crystalline of Al2TiO5 (as-coated samples) were prepared on Ti-6Al-4V alloy by pulsed bi-polar micro-plasma oxidation (MPO) in NaAlO2 solution. The coated samples were calcined in Ar and air at 1000oC, respectively. The phase composition, morphology and element content of the coatings were investigated by XRD, SEM and XRF. The samples treated in Ar and the as-coated ones were calcined in air at 1000oC to study the oxidation resistance of the samples. The results showed that Al2TiO5 decomposed and transformed into corundum and rutile TiO2 during the high temperature calcination. Al2TiO5 decomposed very quickly in air and the proportion of Al2O3 to TiO2 was 44:55 after a complete decomposition. On the contrary, Al2TiO5 decomposed very slowly in argon with the final proportion of Al2O3 to TiO2 of 81:18 on the coating surface. The morphology of the ceramic coatings after the calcination was also different. The coatings calcined in argon were fined: the grains and pores were smaller than those of the coatings calcined in air. The weight gains of both coatings changed in the form of parabola law, and the weight gains of the coated samples treated in argon were comparatively lower than that of the as-coated samples. During the high temperature calcination, the samples treated in argon cannot distort easily, compared with the as-coated ones.

The purpose of this work was to investigate the porous polyetherimide scaffold (P-PEIs) as an alternative biopolymer for bone tissue engineering. The P-PEIs was fabricated via solvent casting and particulate leaching technique. The morphology, phase composition, roughness, hydrophilicity, and biocompatibility of P-PEIs were evaluated and compared with polyetherimide (PEI) and Ti6Al4V disks. P-PEIs showed a biomimetic porous structure with a modulus of 78.95 ± 2.30 MPa. The water contact angle of P-PEIs was 75.4 ± 3.39°, which suggested that P-PEIs had a wettability surface. Moreover, P-PEIs provides a feasible environment for cell adhesion and proliferation. The relative cell adhesion capability and the cell morphology on P-PEIs were better than PEI and Ti6Al4V samples. Furthermore, the MC3T3-E1 cells on P-PEIs showed faster proliferation rate than other groups. It was revealed that the P-PEIs could be a potential material for the application of bone regeneration.

A novel process of micro-arc oxidation (MAO) on AZ91D magnesium alloy is investigated in a Na2SiO3-NaOH-montmorillonite-EDTA-acacia gum electrolyte solution. The morphologies, elements distribution, phase components of the coatings are characterized by SEM, EDS and XRD. And CHI600 electrochemistry corrosion workstation is employed to investigate the property of corrosion resistance of the coatings. Furthermore, the anti-corrosion behavior is analyzed immersed in 3.5 wt. % NaCl solution. The results reveal that the ceramic coatings have the relatively dense and uniform in thickness and the silicon element tends to present primarily in the outer region of the coatings. The XRD results indicate that the oxide films are mainly composed of Mg2SiO4 and MgAl2O4 phases. The immersion results show that the corrosion resistances of the ceramic coatings on AZ91D magnesium surface are better than the magnesium substrate.

Flame sprayed ceramic coatings on the wall of coke oven are characterized before and after melting. The attempt has been made to investigate thermal shock resistant, carbon deposit resistant, wear resistant of the coated and melted samples. The techniques used are SEM and XRD. The results show that: 1) Presence of quartz, corundum and mullite are identified in the surface of the coated specimen. Good adhesion between the coating and the substrate is caused by presence of quartz which is the same content as the substrate.2) The thermal shock resistance cycles of the coating samples are 15 ~ 30 times, but uncoated samples are only 1~2 times. The main reason is that he coating–substrate interface shows no gaps or cracks, and it has a characteristic feature of good adhesion between the coating and the substrate. 3) The wear resistance of the coated samples are better than that of the uncoated samples because glass-coating is more smooth than the uncoated specimen and the mullite and corundum in the coating have the high hardness value that makes the hardness of the coating increased.
