Abstract

The aim of this study was to accelerate the formation of biomimetic Calcium-Phosphate (Ca-P) coatings on Ti6Al4V by using a 5 times more concentrated Simulated Body Fluid (SBFx5) than the regular SBF. The production of SBFx5 was possible by decreasing the pH of the solution to approximately 6 with CO2 gas. The release of this mildly acidic gas allowed the formation of a Ca-P film after 4h of immersion at pH=6.8. The structure of this coating was an amorphous carbonated Ca-P. In addition, our experiments showed that the presence of Mg2+ was absolutely necessary for the Ca-P coating formation on Ti6Al4V substrate. Mg2+ is a crystal growth inhibitor and favored the heterogeneous nucleation. Furthermore, depth profile X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy showed that Ca-P nucleation on the passive Titanium oxide (TiO2) passive layer was initiated by Ca2+ and Mg2+. The attachment of this Ca-P coating resulted probably from chemical bonds such as P-O-Ti and Ca-O-Ti. Ca was more present at the coating/substrate interface than P. Thereby Ca-O-Ti seems to be favored.
