Three sets of hydroxyapatite and rutile-TiO₂ coatings were plasma sprayed onto metallic substrates. The spray parameters of the sets were modified so as to obtain different in-flight temperatures and velocities of the powder particles within the plasma jet (ranging from 1778 to 2385 K and 128 to 199...
