In this study, the effect of thermal oxidation treatment on Ti6Al4V alloy in the HA coating by Electrophoretic Deposition (EPD) technique was investigated. For this purpose, the HA powders were produced by chemical precipitation method and characterization studies of produced hydroxyapatite powders were carried out by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and powder size analysis. Then, thermal oxidation process was applied to Ti6Al4V samples at different temperatures. The surface roughness of Ti6Al4V samples were measured in order to determine the thermal oxidation effect on Ti6Al4V surface. Then, HA coating was pruduced on Ti6Al4V at the determined voltage and time by EPD process. HA deposition efficiency on Ti6Al4V was determined according to thermal oxidation process. The obtained results showed that the thermal oxidation process affects the coating efficiency positively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
