Production, Characterization and Surface Properties of Sr Doped Hydroxyapatite Coating on Magnesium Alloy by Hydrothermal Method

Abstract

In this study, the surface of AZ91D magnesium alloy was coated with undoped and at different ratios strontium doped hydroxyapatite. Coatings were carried out at 180 °C in 3 hours. The surface roughness of the coated samples was determined and the microstructure of the phases forming on the coated surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The chemical composition of the phases formed on the coated surfaces was determined by energy dispersed X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The phases formed on the surfaces were characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR). The AZ91D magnesium alloy was coated successfully with undoped and strontium doped hydroxyapatite by hydrothermal method. The highest surface roughness value was measured as Ra = 8.255 µm in 15% strontium doped sample. It was determined that the (Ca + Sr) / P ratios of the coatings were higher than the stoichiometric ratio of hydroxyapatite, 1.67. It was determined that the closest coating to the stoichiometric ratio was 10% Sr doped coating.
