Abstract: Functionally graded bioactive glass coatings on bioinert metallic substrates were produced by using continuouswave (CW) laser irradiation. The aim is to achieve strong adhesion on the substrates and high bioactivity on the ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the advantages of laser surface melting for improving wetting over the traditional approach. For comparison, kovar alloy was preoxidized in atmosphere at 700 °C for 10 min, and ...
