Notes:
Biomimetic apatite deposition behaviors on Zr-1Nb and Ti-6Al-4V plate with varioussurface conditions were examined. Both alloys were polished with abrasive papers to have differentroughness and some of them were treated in NaOH before deposition of apatites in the simulatedbody fluid. After, 10 days immersion in a SBF, NaOH treated Zr-1Nb and Ti-6Al-4V werecompletely coated with apatite. The deposition rate of apatite was higher on NaOH-treated Ti-6Al-4V than on NaOH-treated Zr-1Nb initially, but the deposition rate on Zr-1Nb accelerated after 2days and the total weight gain due to the deposition on Zr-1Nb approached to that of Ti-6Al-4V.NaOH treatment was found to enhance the deposition rate of apatite on Ti-6Al-4V significantly. Onthe other hand, the deposition rate of Zr-1Nb was not influenced by NaOH treatment. WithoutNaOH treatment, the polished Zr-1Nb with abrasive paper was found to induce more apatitenucleation than the polished Zr-6Al-4V. The presence of apatite was confirmed by XRD analysis.SEM observation revealed a conglomerated granular structure with elongate plates
