Abstract
Abstract A calcium phosphate-coated composite material is disclosed, comprising a metallic substrate, an oxide layer on the metallic substrate, said oxide layer consisting essentially of the oxide of one or more metals selected from the group consisting of titanium, zirconium, hafnium, niobium, tantalum, tin, cobalt, aluminum, chromium, molybdenum and tungsten, and a coating layer of calcium phosphate provided on the oxide layer. A process for production of the calcium phosphate-coated composite material is also disclosed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A process for producing a calcium phosphate coated-composite material which comprises coating a coating solution containing one or more metals selected from the group consisting of titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, tin, cobalt, aluminum, chromium, molybdenum and tugsten on the surface of a metallic substrate, converting the one or more metals into a corresponding oxide by heating in a oxidizing atmosphere to form an oxide layer, and then forming a coating of calcium phosphate on the surface of the oxide layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
82 words
A process for producing a calcium phosphate coated-composite material which comprises coating a coating solution containing one or more metals selected from the group consisting of titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, tin, cobalt, aluminum, chromium, molybdenum and tugsten on the surface of a metallic substrate, converting the one or more metals into a corresponding oxide by heating in a oxidizing atmosphere to form an oxide layer, and then forming a coating of calcium phosphate on the surface of the oxide layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the metallic substrate is made of titanium or a titanium alloy.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the metallic substrate is made of a corrosion resistant iron alloy and the coating solution is a solution containing neither halogen ions nor halogen compounds.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the formation of the oxide layer by heat treatment is carried out by calcinating at a temperature not less than 300° C.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
The process as claimed in claim 2, wherein the formation of the oxide layer by heat treatment is carried out by calcinating at a temperature not less than 300° C.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
The process as claimed in claim 3, wherein the formation of the oxide layer by heat treatment is carried out by calcinating at a temperature not less than 300° C.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, wherein the coating of calcium phosphate is carried out by plasma spray coating of calcium phosphate and/or apatite hydroxide power.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
57 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, wherein the coating of calcium phosphate is carried out by coating a nitric acid aqueous solution of apatite hydroxide as a coating solution on the surface of the oxide layer, and then calcining the coating solution at a temperature not less than 300° C.
