To decrease the Al2O3 sintering temperature and modify the bioactivity of implants, the low melting point A/W bioglass was selected to prepare Al2O3-A/W bioglass coatings, through a tape casting process. The experiment showed that A/W bioglass reacts with water during ball milling and the pH value o...
