Abstract (EN): The corrosion behaviour of 350 stainless steel coated with hydroxyapatite, HA, by plasma spraying was studied in Hank's Balanced Salt Solution, HBSS, and compared with that of polished passivated surfaces. Two different nominal thicknesses, 50 mu m and 200 mu m, corresponding to what one might consider a thin and a thick coating, respectively, were used. Only HA coatings with a thickness of 200 mu m were capable of reducing the electrical charge consumed at constant potential to values lower than those measured for polished surfaces. However, no HA detachment occurred for both thicknesses, as opposed to what has been found in a previous work [1] with Ti6Al4V alloy coated with 50 mu m HA. No iron, chromium or nickel we're detected in solution by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy with electrothermal atomization (ET-AAS). These elements were also absent from the bulk of the HA coating, both after a 6 month immersion period and electrochemical accelerated tests. The data indicate that in spite of the relatively low corrosion resistance of stainless steel as compared to that of titanium alloys, a thin (50 mu m) HA coating prevents the release of metal ions, while remaining adherent to the substrate.
