After the implantation of a biomaterial, it is exposed to mechanical loads and body fluids continuously or
periodically according to the implantation area. Hence, the most important expectancy of biomaterials is to be
biocompatible; not to cause a reaction or impede natural growth of the tissue, bone and organ. Ceramic materials
with excellent mechanical, corrosion and abrasion resistance is set in terms of features such as biomaterials. In this
study, ceramic coatings were produced on AISI 316L stainless steel by the plasma spray method. It was aimed to
investigate microstructure and biocompatibility properties of coatings. Scanning electron microscope (SEM)
analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD) phase analysis were used to determine the microstructure and phase
composition properties. The biocompatibility properties of coatings have been tried to be determined by analysing
cytotoxicity and viability.
