Commercial hydroxyapatite (HA), Ca 10(PO 4) 6(OH) 2, powders were reinforced with 4% of a CaO-P 2O 5 based glass during its sintering process. Double layered coatings were obtained by Plasma Spraying and composed of 50 μm commercial HA, followed by a 50 μm (HA)/P 2O 5-CaO based glass composite coating. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and it was shown that they were constituted of an HA matrix with small traces of tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) phase. The XRD spectra were quite similar to those of commercial HA coatings. For coating to substrate adhesion two different tests were performed: adhesion tests according to ASTM C 633-79 and ASTM D 1002-83 standards. Higher values were obtained for ASTM C 633-79 than for ASTM D 1002-83, 35 and 15 MPa, respectively. This behavior is discussed in terms of the different stress effort applied to specimens. The results obtained with ASTM C 633-79 show that these double layered satisfy the stress requirements for load bearing biomedical applications. © 1998 Published by Elsevier Science S.A.
