Some of the specimens
used for the characterization of
coatings and substrates: (a) HA-coated
specimen for shear adhesion test; (b)
high-roughness, Ti-coated specimen
for tensile adhesion test; (c) high-
roughness, Ti-coated specimen for
roughness measurement; (d) HA-
coated, high-roughness Ti-coated and
low-roughness Ti-coated dumbbell-
shaped specimens for tensile test.
