Structural transformation and sintering processes of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) ceramics prepared from defective hydroxyapatite (Ca9HPO4(PO4)5OH) were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Starting powders with Ca/P ratio ∼1.5 were obtained by adding 0.5 l of 0.3 M H3PO4 solution to an equal volume of 0.45 M Ca(OH)2. In the prepared ceramics, the onset temperature for transformation of defective hydroxyapatite into TCP (witlokite) agrees with the onset temperature for sintering (800 °C). Sintering occurs through the formation of a fibrous structure, which resembles biological hard tissue. In the 1000–1200°C range, these fibres coalesce into grains of up to 0.6 μm in size with a fibrous-laminar morphology. At the end of this sintering stage witlokite transforms into αTCP. At about 1450°C, partial decomposition of αTCP into Ca2P2O7+Ca4P2O9 is observed. AFM observations suggest that Ca2P2O7 is segregated in the liquid state and increases the velocity of grain growth (up to 12 μm).
