Residual Stress and Bond Strength of Bioactive Gradient Coatings Plasma-sprayed

A material of bioactive gradient coatings was designed. The difference of thermal expansion coefficients between coating and substrate was reduced. The residual stress within the plasmasprayed coatings heat-treated was reduced. The bonding strength of the coatings was measured to be about 38 MPa. The residual stress produced within the coatings was measured by the sin2Ψmethod of XRD, and the influence of residual stress on the bond strength of the coatings was explored.
