Abstract

Here we report the microstructural dependence of nano-hardness (H) and elastic modulus (E) of microplasma sprayed (MIPS) 230 mu m thick highly porous, heterogeneous hydroxyapatite (HAP) coating on SS316L. The nano-hardness and Young's modulus data were measured on polished plan section (PS) of the coating by the nanoindentation technique with a Berkovich indenter. The characteristic values of nano-hardness and Young's modulus were calculated through the application of Weibull statistics. Both nano-hardness and the Young's modulus data showed an apparent indentation size effect. In addition, there was an increasing trend of Weibull moduli values for both the nano-hardness and the Young's modulus data of the MIPS-HAP coating as the indentation load was enhanced from 10 to 1,000 mN. An attempt was made in the present work, to provide a qualitative model that can explain such behavior.
