Influence of Current Duty Cycle and Voltage of Micro-Arc Oxidation on the Microstructure and Composition of Calcium Phosphate Coating
Source abstract
Abstract
The micro-arc oxidation (MAO) technique was employed to produce calcium phosphate coatings on titanium surfaces using an electrolyte composed of hydroxyapatite and calcium carbonate in an aqueous solution of orthophosphoric acid. The coatings’ morphology and composition were regulated by adjusting electrical parameters, specifically the duty cycle and voltage. This study examined the effects of the duty cycle and voltage during the MAO process on the microstructure and composition of calcium phosphate coatings on VT1–0 titanium substrates. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilized to analyze the microstructure and thickness of the coatings, while X-ray diffraction (XRD) was employed to determine their phase composition. The findings reveal that the surface morphology of the calcium phosphate coatings transitions from a porous, sponge-like structure to flower-like formations as the duty cycle and voltage increase. A linear increase in the voltage within the applied duty cycles led to a rise in the size of the forming particles of amorphous/crystalline structures containing phases of monetite (CaPO3(OH)), monocalcium phosphate monohydrate (Ca(H2PO4)2·H2O), and calcium pyrophosphate (γ–Ca2P2O7).
