Hydroxyapatite biomaterials are considered capable of replacing bone tissue minerals due to their chemical and structural properties, which are similar to the inorganic components in the bone so that they can replace calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) content [2].
According to research from Mohamed et al. [6], several parameters in the printing process affect the quality and mechanical results of extrusion, including model concepts, material comparisons, machine parameters, environmental factors, direction of machine movement, and work parameters.
Therefore, research is needed to determine other factors that affect the quality and dimensions of the printing results.

Simulation Analysis of Splat Deposition in Plasma Spray Forming Ziyu Zhao1,a, Bibo Xiao1,b, Suzhi Zhang1,c and Li Wang1,d 1College of Mechanical Engineering and Automation, Huaqiao University, Xiamen, Fujian, 361021, China azyzhao@hqu.edu.cn, bxiaobibo@hqu.edu.cn, czhangzhs@hqu.edu.cn, dhuyana88@163.com Keywords: Numerical Simulation, Flattened Particle, Plasma Spray Forming.
Flatten behavior of a single Ni droplet falling on a smooth substrate is evaluated by numerical simulation of ANSYS software, this paper meanwhile researches a single Ni particle deposition in the surface of flattened Al2O3 sheet and thin Al particles, the impact factors of particles flattening and the mechanism of the interaction between particles are also studied.
Dynamic spreading of a single plasma spray droplet in forming process directly affect the quality of the coating, because of small size and high speed, observation of real-time tracking a single droplet flattening through the experimental measurement is very difficult, so numerical simulation methods have became research approach for many scholars.
Harlow using MAC (mark-and-cell) finite difference method, for the first time simulated the process of droplet splashing in the plate, whose research ignored the surface tension and impact of viscous dissipation [1]; Madejski studied theory on the flattening and cooling heat transfer behavior of molten metal droplets colliding with the cold substrate [2]; Mostaghimi considered that after the collision the rapid cooling layer has a significant effect on the course of flattening by numerical simulation [3]; Xiangyang thought the adsorptive material of the base surfaces is a major factor leading to the particle crushing in the collision [4]; Through observing the microstructure of nickel flattening particle, Fukumoto concluded that splash was due to the rapid flow of droplets [5].
The results showed that after the particle collide with the substrate, it spread evenly around along the contact surface, height decreases and diameter increases, finally tending to pancake-like, but splashing and broken may occur due to the high impact velocity; high-speed droplet particles spread in the deposition surface of the splat shows that for the random of deposition particles before and after, surface becomes rough, which have a very significant impact on the degree and shape of subsequent droplet dispersing and formation and distribution of sprayed layer pores, it will direct effects finally generated microstructure of sprayed layer and bond strength or other macro-mechanical properties.

One of most important factors to determine the clinical success of implantation consists in osseointegration that is defined as 'direct structural and functional connection between ordered living bone and the surface of a load-bearing implant'[1].
However, it still remains unclear how the implant biomaterials and corresponding surface morphologies would affect the osseointegration.
It is suggested that the microstructure and/or micro-morphology of the sub-surface and coated surface could largely affect the rate of bone adaptation to the implant surface [4].
Initially, a mechanical load of 200N [6] was applied on top of the crown at a 2 mm offset from the centre to the buccal side of the macro-scale model.

Introduction The wide applications of glass-ceramics in various disciplines of science and technology are as a result of their superior thermal, mechanical and electrical properties [1- 3].

The dissolution of co-clusters in AlMgSi-alloys by a short term heat treatment can be used to locally adjust the mechanical properties of a blank for a following forming operation.
The concept is based on a local, short term heat treatment by which the mechanical properties of the material are adjusted for subsequent forming steps.
Thus, to fully benefit from the tailored mechanical properties forming should be performed as close as possible to the heating step.
In addition also inherent properties such as alloy composition, type and amount of solutes and dislocation density are reported to affect the PLC effect [9].
Conclusion and Outlook Various influence factors on the PLC effect of AlMgSi-THTB have been investigated.

One of the factors that provides an increase in the resistance to compressive of mortars is the improvement in the transition zone, because with the use of silica fume there is a decrease in the amount of crystals resulting from the calcium, the empty spaces and the increase of adhesion cement paste and aggregate [13].
