download PDFThe influence of exposure to simulated body fluid (SBF) on plasma sprayed hydroxyapatite (HAp) coatings on medical grade Ti6Al4V samples has been investigated. Through-thickness residual strain investigations of HAp coatings deposited on flat substrate surfaces incubated for 7, 28 and 56 days were performed using high-energy synchrotron diffraction techniques. In the as-sprayed condition, the results show the top half of the HAp coating to be under compression with the maximum around the near-surface region, relaxing with depth below the surface reaching a strain-free point around the coating thickness midpoint. On the contrary, the remainder of the coating is under tension increasing with further depth; the maximum tension is observed near the coating-substrate interface region. Upon immersion in SBF, both the slope of the normal strain components 11 and 33 relax, with the former experiencing a change in slope before saturating after 7 days; the highest change was observed within the first week of incubation.
