The aim of this work is to deposit functionally graded HA/Ti layers using plasma spray to improve the coating-substrate interface properties. In addition to the Ti bondcoat and the top HA biolayer, the alternating layers were created by means of changing the feeding rate and input powder of Ti and HA. The stability of the graded coatings such as corrosion resistance and fatigue, and bonding strength of the potential graded coatings without and with post-deposition heat treatment were examined. Results showed that surface chemistry and morphology of the graded coatings were similar to those of monolithic HA coatings. The bonding strength values of the as-sprayed graded coating were much superior to those of monolithic HA coatings. The cyclic fatigue did have a statistically significant effect on bond strength of monolithic HA coatings, with a decrease of 23%. However, the graded coatings were able to survive 1 million cycles of loading in air without significantly reduced bond strength. The in vitro electrochemical measurement results also indicated that the graded coatings had a more beneficial and desired behavior than monolithic HA coatings after fatigue. An appropriate heat treatment resulted in recrystallization of amorphous calcium phosphate of as-sprayed coatings. The enhancement of the resistance to corrosion took place after heat treatment. Consequently, we concluded that the heat treatment at 600℃, endowing with increased crystallinity and the reduced defects as well as enhanced bond strength, may be a suitable post-deposition treatment method to promote the characteristics of graded HA/Ti coatings.
