Abstract
Hydroxyapatite coatings have been used on metallic substrates in a variety of applications, including modifying the surface of human implants, bone osseointegration and biological fixation. In this paper, the effects of various kinds of metallic substrate on clinical and pathological results of in vivo tests are presented. Four kinds of endodontic implants i.e, stainless steel, cobalt base alloy, plasma sprayed hydroxyapatite coated stainless steel, plasma sprayed hydroxyapatite coated cobalt base alloy were prapared and implanted in mandibular canine of
cats. After a healing period of 4 months, investigation by SEM and histopathological interpretation and evaluation showed significant differences in tissue response and osseointegration between coated and non-coated metallic implants. It was concluded that the results were affected by the kind of metallic substrate .

Abstract
Zinc was electrodeposited from an acidic sulphate solution on commercial steel sheet substrates galvanostatically at 10, 20, and 100 mA/cm2. The steel substrates had an average roughness number of 1.34 microns and a high percentage of its grains had their (111) planes parallel to the plate surface. During electrodeposition at 10 mA/cm2, on some specimens, there was an intense potential fluctuation around –870 mV vs Saturated Calomel Electrode (SCE). During this period zinc hydroxide precipitated on the surface. After a certain time, the potential dropped to –1020 for zinc deposition. Zinc nuclei were seen to precipitate from zinc hydroxide. Increasing current density changed nucleation mode from progressive to instantaneous, and also changed the size, morphology, and texture of zinc deposits.

Abstract
The metallurgical and mechanical properties of Ti6Al4V/(WC-Co) friction welds have ben investigated. The microstructure close to the bondline comprised a mixture of acicular and equiaxed α plus β phases. The diffusion of elements in the welded specimens has been detected. The fracture strengths of Ti6Al4V/(WC-Co) friction welds markedly improved when the cobalt content in the (WC-Co) carbide substrate increased.
During the three-point bend testing of Ti6Al4V/WC-6wt.%Co welds, the crack initiated at the bondline region at the periphery of the weld and then propagated into the brittle (WC-6wt.%Co) substrate, while with the Ti6Al4V/WC-11 wt.%Co and Ti6Al4V/WC-24wt.%Co welds, the crack initiated and propagated at the bondline region.

Abstract
On electropolished steel at low current densities, morphology and texture of electrodeposited zinc were investigated. Zinc coating is consisted of hexagonal crystallites laid on each other to produce packets. These packets are of different sizes and are stacked in different orientations to construct a homogeneous coating on steel substrate. This coating does not have texture, i.e., it has a random texture. With increasing current density, the morphology changes completely as each grain attains a special orientation. In this case, coating has a strong basal plane (0002) along with low angle planes (1013 and 1014). Coating obtained on mechanically polished surfaces consists of individual packets of zinc crystals, which are near each other with different
orientations. These coatings have a higher density of basal plane (0002) in comparison to electropolished surfaces. The morphology and texture variations with cathodic polarization and surface preparation of steel are due to their effect on nucleation and growth.

Abstract
Although titanium has been recognized for its excellent bio-compatibility with human tissues and good corrosion resistance in some specific environments, little attention has been paid to the surface enrichment of the components by titanium. In this paper, titanium diffusion coating was formed on the surface of Ni-based alloy B-1900 via pack cementation technique and the microstructure of the coatings obtained was studied. Diffusion titanizing was carried out via pack cementation technique at 850 and 950 C for 3 hours in a mixture of commercially pure titanium, Al2O3 and NH4Cl powder. Microstructure, phase composition and concentration profile of the coatings were examined using optical and electron metallography, X-ray diffraction, and glow discharge optical spectroscopy. The results showed that Ti2Ni and AlNi2Ti were the main constituents of the coating. The formation mechanism of the coatings was also evaluated.

Abstract
In this study, effect of potential on composition and depth profiles of passive films formed on 316L stainless steel in 0.05 M sulfuric acid has been examined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). For passive film formation within the passive region, four potentials -0.2, 0.2, 0.5, and 0.8 VSCE were chosen and films were gown at each potential for 60 min. XPS analysis results showed that atomic concentration of Cr and Fe initially increase (E < 0.5 VSCE) and then decrease with potential. This decrease is due to surface dissolution of the Fe and Cr oxides. For both alloying elements, Ni and Mo, no obvious change in atomic concentration was showed. Results indicated that at higher potentials, before entering transpassive region, oxidation of Cr3+ to Cr6+ is happened.
