플라즈마 용사법에 의한 섬유강화 복합 소재를 개발하면서 독특한 미세구조가 발견되었다. 이러한 형상은 코팅의 물리적 특성과 직접적으로 관련이 있다고 사료된다 섬유강화 코팅의 구조를 밝히기 위해 고배율 전자현미경이 사용되었으며 분석을 통해 일반적 용사코팅 의 미세구조가 내부에 투입된 강화 섬유(FIBER 또는 WHISKER)에 의해 변형되며 열적으로 anisotropic한 상태로 되었음을 보여주었다.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance and reliability of plasma sprayed nanostructured zirconia (NSZ) coating. MATERIALS AND METHODS. This study consisted of three areas of analysis: (1) Mechanical property: surface roughness of NSZ coating and bond strength between NSZ coating and titanium specimens were measured, and the microstructure of bonding interface was also observed by scanning election microscope (SEM). (2) Biocompatibility: hemolysis tests, cell proliferation tests, and rat subcutaneous implant test were conducted to evaluate the biocompatibility of NSZ coating. (3) Mechanical compatibility: fracture and artificial aging tests were performed to measure the mechanical compatibility of NSZ-coated titanium abutments. RESULTS. In the mechanical study, 400 ㎛ thick NSZ coatings had the highest bond strength (71.22 ± 1.02 MPa), and a compact transition layer could be observed. In addition, NSZ coating showed excellent biocompatibility in both hemolysis tests and cell proliferation tests. In subcutaneous implant test, NSZ-coated plates showed similar inflammation elimination and fibrous tissue formation processes with that of titanium specimens. Regarding fatigue tests, all NSZ-coated abutments survived in the five-year fatigue test and showed sufficient fracture strength (407.65-663.7 N) for incisor teeth. CONCLUSION. In this study, the plasmasprayed NSZ-coated titanium abutments presented sufficient fracture strength and biocompatibility, and it was demonstrated that plasma spray was a reliable method to prepare high-quality zirconia coating.

Al$_2$O$_3$-TiO$_2$powders of six different compositions were plasma-sprayed on Ti substrate. The spray powders and the spray coated layers were analysed and compared using SEM and X-RD. The elastic properties (specific elastic constant and damping coefficient) of the coated specimens were measured in order to select the optimum composition range of ceramics for use in a speaker diaphragm. A correlation between the microstructure and elastic properties was also investigated. When $Al_2$O$_3$powders with 0- 13% TiO$_2$were plasma sprayed, the coated layers were composed of metastable y-Al$_2$O$_3$with small amount of $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$and the content of $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$was increased with TiO$_2$content. Specific elastic constant was rapidly increased with 2 and 13% TiO$_2$addition to $Al_2$O$_3$. The internal damping was nearly unchanged with TiO$_2$content The specific elastic constant seemed to be dependent on the content of $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$in the coated layer.

The wear characteristics and wear mechanisms of plasma sprayed Al/sub 2/ O/sub 3/-40%TiO/sub 2/ and Cr/sub 2/O/sub 3/ deposited on casting aluminum alloy(AC4C) were investigated. Specimens were processed for various coating thicknesses. Ball on disk type wear tester was used for wear test. The scratch test on plasma sprayed coating surface showed that critical load to break the coating layer was greater than 40 N. The critical load increase with the increase of coating thickness of specimens. The friction coefficient of Cr/sub 2/O/sub 3/ coating layer was less than that of Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/-40%TiO/sub 2/ coating layer. The wear resistance of Cr/sub 2/O/sub 3/ coating layer was greater than that of Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/-40%TiO/sub 2/ coating layer. Microscopic observation of worn surfaces was made by SEM. SEM observation showed that the main mechanism of wear for Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/-40%TiO/sub 2/ coating layer was abrasive wear under 50 N. For the case of Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/-40%TiO/sub 2/ coating layer, as the surface cracks perpendicular to sliding direction propagated, the wear debris was generated in wear track. However, the main mechanism of wear for Cr/sub 2/O/sub 3/ coating layer was brittle fracture under 150 N.

This study was aimed at development of fabrication process of functionally graded materials(FGM), consisting of metal and ceramic by thermal spraying method. NiCrAIY/$Al_2O_3$ FGM were made by using plasma spraying onto the SS400 carbon steel substrate. And mechanical properties such as microhardness, thermal shock resistance and adhesive strength of the coating layer were investigated. Adhesive strength was evaluated by acoustic emission method. It was resulted that NiCrAIY/$Al_2O_3$ FGM made by thermal spraying method showed excellent thermal shock resistance and adhesive strength compared to the other lamellar structures of sprayed coatings and that AE is useful tool to evaluate the defect of thermal sprayed coating layer.

The effect of the hydroxyapatite coatings on Titanium implants has been the subject of recent investigations. So far, the use of HA coating remains substantially controversial.This study was aimed to evaluate histologically the bone healing patterns around titanium plasm sprayed(TPS) amd HA-coated implant after implantation into the femur neck of ten adult dogs. After implantation, animals were sacrificed at the intervals of 2,4,6,8 and 12 weeks.The fluorescent dyes were injected on the postoperative 4th and 12th week into the animals supposed to be killed at the 12th week. The morphology and direction of new bone formation was similar in both TPS and HA-coated implants.There was a tendency toward more bone formation in the cortical bone area than in the cancellous bone area. Histologically,in the interface of the HA-coated implants, bone response and bone maturation was faster, compared to the TPS implants in the 2nd and 4th week. By fluorescent microscopy, new bone formation was active in the 4th week around both implants and was directed from the periosteum overlying cortical bone to the cancellous bone. These results suggest that the bone formation and maturation is faster during the early healing stage in the interface of the HA-coated implant and where the cortical bone quality is poor, HA coated implant is superior to the TPS implant in the early phase of new bone formation.

Since the concept of a direct contact between bone and implants, without interposed soft- tissue layers, was reported by Dr. $Br{\aa}nemark$, there has been increasing necessity for correct under-standing of bone-implant interface and surrounding tissue response. Beside quality of bone, surgical technique, load applied to implants, one must consider implant materials, design and surface characteristics to obtain osseointegration. In this study HA plasma-sprayed implants, TPS implants and $Al_2O_3$ implants were inserted into the alveolar bone of dog and tissue response was observed with radiograph, stereoscope, light microscope, and scanning electron microscope. Results were as follows : 1. There was rapid and active bone formation in the region adjacent to HA plasma-sprayed implants but in the deep supporting bone only slight bone formation was seen. 2. There was considerable lamella bone formation in the region adjacent to TPS implants and the deep supporting bone became more compact. 3. There was some gap and sclerosing bone formation in the adjacent region of $Al_2O_3$ implants, but there was irregular new bone formation in the deep supporting bone. Therefore, it seems that $Al_2O_3$ is not adequate for osseointegrated implants.
