Characterization of hydroxyapatite/ti6al4v composite powder under various sintering temperature
Amir Arifin1, Abu Bakar Sulong2, Norhamidi Muhamad3, Junaidi Syarif4.
Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been widely used in biomedical applications due to its excellent
biocompatibility. However, Hydroxyapatite possesses poor mechanical properties and only
tolerate limited loads for implants. Titanium is well-known materials applied in implant that
has advantage in mechanical properties but poor in biocompatibility. The combination of
the Titanium alloy and HA is expected to produce bio-implants with good in term of
mechanical properties and biocompatabilty. In this work, interaction and mechanical
properties of HA/Ti6Al4V was analyzed. The physical and mechanical properties of
HA/Ti6Al4V composite powder obtained from compaction (powder metallurgy) of 60 wt.%
Ti6Al4V and 40 wt.% HA and sintering at different temperatures in air were investigated in
this study. Interactions of the mixed powders were investigated using X-ray diffraction. The
hardness and density of the HA/Ti6Al4V composites were also measured. Based on the
results of XRD analysis, the oxidation of Ti began at 700 °C. At 1000 °C, two phases were
formed (i.e., TiO2 and CaTiO3). The results showed that the hardness HA/Ti6Al4V composites
increased by 221.6% with increasing sintering temperature from 700oC to 1000oC. In contrast,
the density of the composites decreased by 1.9% with increasing sintering temperature.
