But in clinical applications, the mechanical failure of HAP-coated titanium alloy implant suffered at the interface of the HAP coatings and titanium alloy substrate will be a potential weakness in prosthesis. Yttria-stablized zirconia (YSZ) is expected to enhance the mechanical properties of the HAP coating and reduce the coefficient of thermal expansion difference between the coated layer and the substrate. These may reinforce the bonding strength between the coatings and the substrate. In this paper, HAP/YSZ composite coatings were cladded by laser. The effects of zirconia on the microstructure, mechanical properties and formation of tricalcium phosphate (TCP, Ca 3(PO 4) 2) of the HAP/YSZ composite coatings were evaluated. XRD, SEM and TEM were used to investigate the phase composition, microstructure and morphology of the coatings. The experimental results showed that adding YSZ in coatings was favorable to the composition and stability of HAP, and to the improvement of the adhesion strength, microhardness and microtoughness. A well uniform, crack-free coating of HAP/YSZ composites was formed on Ti-alloy substrate by laser cladding.展开更多

The Ag（Nb0.8Ta0.2）O3 powder was synthesized at 950 ℃ under different ambient conditions, and then pressed into disks and sintered between 1060 ℃ and 1100 ℃ respectively. Samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and dielectric measurement. The results show that perovskite Ag（Nb0.8Ta0.2）O3 powder was easier to be synthesized in air than in vacuum at 950℃. Grain size of ceramic samples sintered in air was uniform （about 1 μm） and its dielectric loss was small for its high density. However, the samples decomposed greatly and ceramics could hardly be densified when sintered in vacuum, Thus,. higher atmospheric pressure and oxygen atmosphere would benifit the synthesis of Ag （Nb0.8Ta0.2）O3, and suppress its decomposition at high temperature.展开更多
