Previous issue date: 2006-06-28 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / The calcium phosphate ceramics have been very investigated as material for bone implants. The tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) had a great potential for application in temporary implants like a resorbable bioceramic. This material presents a limitation in its sintering temperature due to occurrence of the allotropic transformation β → α at temperatures around 1200?C, not allowing the attainment of dense ceramic bodies. This transformation also causes cracks, what diminishes the mechanical strength, limiting its use to applications of low mechanical requests. This work studies the influence of the addition of manganese oxide in the sintering of β-TCP. Two processing routes were investigated. The first was the powder metallurgy conventional process. The test bodies (samples) were pressed and sintering at temperatures of 1200 and 1250?C. The second route was uniaxial hot pressing and its objective was to obtain samples with high relative density. The samples were physically characterized through density and porosity measurements. The thermal behavior was studied through dilatometric, thermal differential and thermogravimetric analysis. The mechanical properties were characterized by three point flexure test and Vickers microhardness measurements. The microstructure was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The addition of manganese oxide caused an improvement of the mechanical strength in relation to the material without additive and promoting the stabilization of β-TCP to greater temperatures / As cer?micas de fosfato de c?lcio t?m sido intensamente investigadas como materiais para implantes ?sseos. O fosfato tric?lcico (β-TCP) possui um grande potencial para aplica??o em implantes tempor?rios por ser uma biocer?mica absorv?vel. Entretanto, este tipo de material apresenta uma limita??o na sua temperatura de sinteriza??o devido ? ocorr?ncia da transforma??o alotr?pica β → α em torno de 1200?C. Isto impede a obten??o de corpos cer?micos densos e provoca trincas, diminuindo a resist?ncia do material e limitando a sua utiliza??o a aplica??es de baixa solicita??o mec?nica. A influ?ncia da adi??o de ?xido de mangan?s na sinteriza??o do β-TCP foi estudada neste trabalho. Duas rotas de processamento foram investigadas. A primeira utilizou o processo convencional de metalurgia do p?. Os corpos de prova foram prensados, sendo posteriormente sinterizados nas temperaturas de 1200 e 1250?C. O segundo m?todo de processamento utilizou a rota de prensagem uniaxial a quente, e tinha como objetivo obter corpos de prova com alta densidade relativa. As amostras foram caracterizadas fisicamente por meio de medidas de porosidade e densidade e termicamente por dilatometria e an?lise termogravim?trica e t?rmica diferencial. Os corpos sinterizados foram caracterizados mecanicamente por resist?ncia a flex?o em 3 pontos e microdureza Vickers, sendo tamb?m sua microestrutura analisada por microscopia eletr?nica de varredura. A adi??o do ?xido de mangan?s ocasionou uma melhoria da resist?ncia mec?nica em rela??o ao material sem aditivo, al?m de promover uma estabiliza??o do β-TCP em temperaturas mais elevadas
