The effects of surface roughness of stainless steel 316L substrates on the characteristics of electrophoretically deposited HA/chitosan coatings
The roughness, adhesion, and other qualities of hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings are determined by how well the metal surface is prepared before the coating. In this study, Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) on various substrate roughnesses (320 and 800 grit SiC grind, and sandblasted surfaces) was used t...

Summary: | The roughness, adhesion, and other qualities of hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings are determined by how well the metal surface is prepared before the coating. In this study, Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) on various substrate roughnesses (320 and 800 grit SiC grind, and sandblasted surfaces) was used to produce HA/chitosan coatings on 316L stainless steel substrates, their properties and morphology were investigated. The coating’s morphology was examined by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to analyze the surface topography of coatings, and the tape test was used to measure the adhesive bonding between the applied coatings and the substrate. The results showed that the deposition of HA/chitosan coating on sandblasted 316L SS substrate has the best properties, i.e., uniformity, proper percentage of porosity, higher nanoroughness (97.1 nm), the best value of contact angle (53.778°), and highest adhesion to the substrate with a removal area of 4.6%. |
