The liquid precursors of calcium hydroxide and diammonium hydrogen phosphate were injected into the plasma jet generated by the SG-100 torch to synthesize the hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings. Three operational deposition process parameters, namely: (i) electric power, (ii) spray distance, and (iii) scan speed were varied. The process enabled synthesization of coatings with HA as major phase onto stainless steel substrates. The coatings were deposited to reach the thickness of about 50 pm with high rate ranging from 3 JAM to nearly 7 pm by pass of torch. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of coatings enabled finding of HA accompanied by calcium phosphates, calcium oxide, and calcium carbonate. The presence of the carbonates was confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and by elemental mapping made with the use of Electron Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS). The morphology of coatings, observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM), revealed fine-grained microstructure and porosity in the range of 1.3 to 5.1%. The adhesion of coatings obtained using scratch test characterized by critical force was in the range of 2.5 to 3.6 N. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
