研究目的
To investigate and compare the microstructure, hardness, and biological properties of fluorapatite/ZrO2 and fluorapatite/Al2O3 composite coatings deposited on Ti6Al4V substrates using laser cladding, addressing the enhancement of mechanical properties and biocompatibility for biomedical applications.
研究成果
The FA/ZrO2 coating exhibited higher micro-hardness and better initial cell attachment and spread compared to FA/Al2O3, despite greater inter-diffusion in FA/Al2O3. Both coatings showed good bioactivity with apatite formation in SBF. The findings suggest FA/ZrO2 as a superior option for biomedical implants, with recommendations for future in vivo studies and optimization of coating parameters.
研究不足
The study is limited to in vitro tests; in vivo performance is not assessed. The laser cladding process may induce thermal decomposition, affecting coating purity. The specific mechanisms behind bioactivity differences are not fully elucidated due to complex phase compositions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used a Nd:YAG laser cladding system to deposit composite coatings. The rationale was to compare the effects of ZrO2 and Al2O3 additions on fluorapatite coatings. Theoretical models involved thermal decomposition and phase transformation analyses.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Ti6Al4V alloy plates (100 mm x 60 mm x 3.8 mm) were used as substrates. Coating powders included fluorapatite (synthesized from TCP and CaF2), ZrO2 (3Y-TZP), and Al2O3 (a-Al2O3). Data were acquired through various characterization techniques.

3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Equipment included Nd:YAG laser system (ROFIN CW025), 3D laser scanning confocal microscope (VK-X200), SEM (JEOL JSM-6390LV), XRD (Rigaku D/Max Z.V), nanoindentation system (MTS-G200), micro-Vickers hardness tester (HM-113). Materials included Ti6Al4V, FA powder, ZrO2 powder, Al2O3 powder, PVA, SBF, MG63 cells, DMEM, FBS, PBS, glutaraldehyde, ethanol, HMDS.
4:3). Materials included Ti6Al4V, FA powder, ZrO2 powder, Al2O3 powder, PVA, SBF, MG63 cells, DMEM, FBS, PBS, glutaraldehyde, ethanol, HMDS. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Slurries of FA/ZrO2 and FA/Al2O3 with PVA were pre-placed on milled slots in substrates, dried, and laser clad with specific parameters (800 W power, 400 mm/min speed). Post-cladding, samples were characterized for roughness, microstructure, phase composition, hardness, elastic modulus, bioactivity (SBF immersion), and biocompatibility (cell culture).
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Roughness measured via confocal microscope, microstructure and composition via SEM/EDS/XRD, hardness via micro-Vickers tester, elastic modulus via nanoindentation, bioactivity via XRD after SBF immersion, biocompatibility via SEM observation of cell morphology.
