Deposition of biphasic calcium phosphate film on laser surface textured Ti–6Al–4V and its effect on different biological properties for orthopedic applications

The present study reports laser surface texturing (LST) of Ti–6Al–4V using a Nd-YAG laser with a particular set of parameters and three different overlapping factors (OF): 0%, 25% and 50%. Biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) film was deposited on bare as well as textured Ti–6Al–4V specimens by using radio frequency (RF) sputtering. The simultaneous effect of texturing as well as BCP coating on different physical and biological properties was...
