<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for fabricating a medical implant component wherein a bearing surface is formed by spraying particles of a required material onto the bearing portion of a substrate, and to provide such component. <P>SOLUTION: The method may include steps of producing the substrate having a bearing portion from a first material, spraying the particles of a second material onto the bearing portion in accordance with a predetermined spraying technique to provide a coating thereon, and subjecting the coated bearing portion to a hot isostatic compression molding process, a vacuum sintering process, or a controlled atmospheric sintering process. The first material may be the same as or different from the second material. The predetermined spraying technique may be a thermal type spraying process such as a plasma spraying process or a high velocity oxygen fuel spraying process. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
