A Setup for Preparation of Glass-Carbon Coatings on TiO2-Nb2O5 Intended for Hip Joint Prostheses
Journal Title: Analele Universitatii "Dunarea de Jos" din Galati. Fascicula IX, Metalurgie si Stiinta Materialelor - Year 2010, Vol 33, Issue 3
Abstract
A setup for preparation of glass-carbon coatings on TiO2-Nb2O5 ceramic materials, intended for implants for surgery of hip joint prostheses, is described. The setup described consists of vacuum tight ceramic chamber; programmable high temperature furnace and a system for controlled introduction of inert gas into the chamber. The setup allows working with temperatures up to 1350 oC, controlled heating rates from 1 to 15 oC/min and chamber pressures down to 10-2 mmHg.
