Review of Various Hydroxyapatite Coating Methods on SS316L Foam for Biomedical Application

Metallic biomaterials such as 316L stainless steel (SS316L) are widely used an implant to replace the function of damaged bone, especially in hip or knee applications. However, many them fail during a short period have complications. The biocompatibility issues main factor that caused this failure. Thus, coating SS316L with bioactive and biocompatible material is one promising techniques enhance lifetime implant. This paper provides overview foam coated hydroxyapatite (HA). Various methods HA sol-gel, dip coating, electrophoretic deposition, plasma spraying, pulse laser deposition applied on their characteristics were investigated based recent literature. using different compiled basic properties reported. Therefore, will benefit future works biomedical application.
