title: [Diffusion bonding of hydroxyapatite ceramics and biometals].
abstract: To improve the mechanical characteristics of hydroxyapatite (HAP) ceramics, a metal-ceramic composite formed by a solid state direct diffusion bonding system was studied. The joining treatment was carried out of a high vacuum and high temperature, for the bioactive ceramics (HAP) and the following biometals; platinum, gold-platinum alloy, titanium and titanium alloys, zirconium, niobium and aluminium alloy. The effects of the variations of thermal expansion mismatch and the interactive reactions at the interface were investigated by fractographic observation (SEM), X-ray diffraction method and EPMA analysis. On some of these joining combinations, the bonding strength had the same bonding strength as the adhesive materials. The results of interface observations showed that the bonding strength is affected by the interface reactions and the diffusion phenomena.
