Abstract

Surface coatings of titanium (Ti) and its alloys with bioceramic materials are one of the main surface modification techniques used for developing different properties required for biomedical applications like mechanical strength, biocompatibility, wear resistance and corrosion behavior. In this work, pure HA coating was prepared and deposited successfully on the surface of new metastable β-Ti alloy by sol-gel method. Different surface examinations of coated substrate were carried out such as thickness measurement, morphology and phase transformations, and compared to uncoated substrate.
