Abstract
Structural and mechanical behavior of thin hydroxyapatite (HA) films deposited via radio-frequency magnetron sputtering on AZ91D magnesium alloy was investigated. Nanoindentationwas employed to evaluate nanohardness and Young’s modulus of the uncoated and HA-coated AZ91 magnesium alloy. The HA-coated AZ91D magnesium alloy exhibited a higher hardness of 7.1 GPa and a higher modulus of 86 GPa compared withthe uncoated substrate revealing a strong load-bearing capacity.
