摘要

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties of nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite coating by tensile adhesion testing and scratch testing. The coating was manufactured on titanium substrate by converting atomic layer-deposited (ALD) calcium carbonate thin film in dilute phosphate solution. The tensile adhesion testing was performed with hydraulic testing device in accordance with ISO 4624 and ISO 16276-1. Scratch testing was done according to SFS-EN 13523-12 with spherical 10 A mu m scratching tip. Characterization of the samples was done with light and electron microscopy after which they were stained with alizarin red and the failure modes and loadings were analyzed. The highest obtained tensile adhesion value was 6.71 MPa produced with 4000 ALD cycles, converted to hydroxyapatite in alkaline solution, and annealed for 30 min in 700 A degrees C. The annealing improved the adhesion values by approximately 0.8 MPa, but examining the samples with electron microscopy showed intact coating in both annealed and non-annealed samples. Samples produced with 4000 cycles performed better in testing than 2000 cycle samples, and better adhesion was also achieved with alkaline conversion solution compared to neutral solution.
