Abstract
Ion beam sputter deposition was used to produce thin calcium phosphate coatings on titanium substrates. Structure, solubility and bond strength of the as-sputtered and heat treated coatings were evaluated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the heat treated coatings revealed a hydroxyapatite-type structure. The heat treated coatings were found to have significantly lower solubility as compared to the amorphous as-sputtered coatings. Although the crystalline coatings exhibited the lowest solubility, in general, the bond strengths were lower for the heat treated coatings.
