Properties of magnesium-substituted hydroxyapatite and the plasma coatings based on it

Magnesium-substituted hydroxyapatite is synthesized and deposited by plasma spraying, and the coating and the products of hydroxyapatite decomposition are analyzed. The phase composition of magnesium- substituted hydroxyapatite deposited by plasma spraying undergoes changes. The coating consisting of molten magnesium-substituted hydroxyapatite powder particles with pores between them has a homogeneous structure over the surface and throughout the internal structure and adhesion characteristics that exceed those of hydroxyapatite coatings.
