Abstract: As the most favorable technology, plasma spray has been used to produce the hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings with the desired phase, high crystallinity, adequate porosity, and good biocompatibility. The characteristics of the HA coating are affected by many variables of the fabricating process, such as the starting particle size, spraying distance, gas flow rate, and electric arc power, etc. This paper reviews the effect of the plasma spraying parameters on the morphology and microstructure of the HA coating, and introduces several typical HA coatings fabricated with different plasma spraying parameters.
