TO STUDY THE MICROSTRUCTURAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF A1203-T102 REINFORCED - HYDROXYAPATITE COATING

Abstract

The entire study carried out is described in eight chapters. The summary of each chapter is given - hereby. Chapter 1 deals with the introduction to Hydroxyapatite, hydroxyapatite Coatings, applications of HA coatings, and effect of I-IA in human blood plasma. Chapter 2 contains the Literature Review: Various studies carried by researchers shows the cl'fects of post plasma heat treatment and various reinforcements, and study of surface roughness. porosity, crystallinity microhardness and wear of HA coating. Chapter 3 This chapter shows what the scopes of HA coating are and why this study is tuipollant. Chapter 4 majorly consists of experimentation work. Various steps involved in preparing the specimen, providing coatings, and the whole procedure of tests such as porosity, niicrohardeness wear tensile test etc. This basically gives the sequence and details of each and every step involved in experiment. Chapter 5 contains the result obtained from different tests such as porosity, roughness, wear, and tensile stress. This chapter contains the wear effects plots, SEM images, EDS. XRD pattern. Chapter 6 contains the discussion of the results which are obtained by different tests such as wear test, tensile test. SEMIEDS and XRD pattern. - Chapter 7 summarizes the various conclusions based on the experimentation work. Chapter 8 contains the future scope of this study. It describes the various thctorsiaspects that further how this study can be extended.
