Stainless steel Rex-734 biomedical alloy (ASTM F1586)
can be used as a new functional implant material with its extra ordinary
corrosion resistance and material properties. In order to functionalize such
material, Single Hydroxyapatite(HA) (S1), Hydroxyapatite-SiO2 (S2),
Hydroxyapatite-Ag (S3) and Hydroxyapatite/Zr (S4) dip
coatings were executed on Rex-734 implant alloy. Different coating thicknesses
for S1, S2, S3 and S4 groups were
obtained 12.4, 10.9, 11.1 and 10.3 µm, respectively. From the morphologic SEM
views, the better and crack free coating surfaces were found for HA/Zr (S4)
group. The average hardness values for single HA coatings were found to be 290
HV. In comparison with single coatings,
HA/SiO2 coatings caused lower hardness (261 HV) and higher values
(312 HV) for HA/Ag double coatings, however, highest hardness was obtained (353
HV) for HA/Zr coatings.
