Fig. 6. SEM micrograph (fracture) of β-TCP-Fap composites sintered for one hour at various
temperatures with different wt % of Fap: (a) 13.26 wt %, 1100°C; (b) 13.26 wt %, 1450°C; (c)
19.9 wt %, 1300°C; (d) 33.16 wt %, 1300°C; (e) 40 wt %, 1400°C and (f) 40 wt %, 1450°C.
Above 1400°C, the microstructure of β-TCP sintered at 1450°C with different percentages of
Fap (13.26 wt % and 40 wt %) was totally modified (Fig. 6b and f). In fact, we observe two
