	abstract = {The aim of this research was to study the stability of plasma-sprayed coated metal systems and to evaluate their susceptibility to the occurrence of corrosion fatigue. Hydroxylapatite plasma-sprayed coated samples of Ti-6Al-4V were studied under cyclic bending. During fatigue testing samples were immersed in a simulated physiological solution and mechanical and electrochemical degradation were monitored. Applied loads were intended to crack the ceramic coating and not the metal substrate. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to further characterize the electrochemical behaviour. No increase in tendency to corrode was detected in open-circuit corrosion fatigue testing. It appears as if the coating cracking does not increase metal substrate corrosion susceptibility. The coating integrity has been seriously affected, with marked decrease in thickness, due to the synergistic effect of load and presence of simulated body fluids environment. Impedance results, however, show a general tendency to an increase in corrosion kinetics after corrosion fatigue testing.The aim of this research was to study the stability of plasma-sprayed coated metal systems and to evaluate their susceptibility to the occurrence of corrosion fatigue.
