Hydroxyapatite (HAP) coatings were developed on type 316L stainless steel (SS) by electrophoretic deposition at various deposition potentials from 30 to 90 V using the stoichiometric HAP (Ca/P ratio 1.67) powder in a suspension of isopropyl alcohol. The optimum coating parameters were established at 60 V and 3 min, after vacuum sintering at 800 degreesC. The phase purity of the coated surface was confirmed by XRD and secondary ion mass spectrometry confirmed the presence of both Ca and P on the coated layers. The electrochemical corrosion parameters E-corr (open circuit potential) and pitting potentials, evaluated in Hank's solution shifted towards noble direction for the HAP coated specimens in comparison with uncoated type 316L SS. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopic investigations revealed higher polarisation resistance and lower capacitance values after immersing the coated specimens in Hanks solution for 200 ht. This indicates the stable nature of the coatings formed. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
