Title Damage evaluation of HAp-coated porous titanium foam in simulated body fluid based on compression fatigue behavior.
Journal J Mech Behav Biomed Mater
Abstract Although pure Ti is nontoxic, alloying elements may be released into the surrounding tissue when Ti alloys are used, and this can cause cytotoxicity. Therefore, this study performed the damage evaluation of hydroxyapatite (HAp)-coated porous Ti components subjected to cyclic compression in a simulated body fluid (SBF). The HAp coating layer was deposited on the surface of porous Ti by electrophoresis, and a dense and homogeneous coating morphology was observed on the surface of the porous Ti. To specify damage types of HAp coating in situ, acoustic emission (AE) measurements and microscopic observations were simultaneously conducted during compressive fatigue loading tests to detect the specific failure mode. Compression tests revealed that the interfacial strength between the HAp coating and porous Ti was higher than the yield strength of the porous body (7-9 MPa). The AE signals were detected only in the plastic deformation stage of porous Ti, which indicated that they were generated because of plastic deformation/fractures in the porous body. Compressive fatigue tests revealed that no significant HAp coating damage occurred when the applied maximum stress was within the elastic limit of porous Ti in air. In contrast, the HAp coating exhibited delamination at the initial stage of cyclic loading at all stress levels in SBF, while the fatigue limit of the coated porous substrate, 2 MPa, was not affected by the SBF medium. Though the delamination of the HAp coating in SBF occurred during the early stages of fatigue loading, the amorphous calcium phosphate layer was recovered partly through re-precipitation from SBF. The AE signals from the delamination of the HAp coating or fracture in porous Ti could be identified using the peak voltage and frequencies. As microscopic observations were limited to certain parts of the porous body, AE signals were clustered according to the types of failure. The clustered AE signals were successfully correlated with the fatigue behavior of porous Ti. Corrosion fatigue was determined to be the primary mechanism for the delamination of the HAp coating on porous Ti in SBF.
