Abstract
The influence of the concentration (0.5M…2M) of potassium hydroxide on the formation of calcium phosphate coatings on commercially pure titanium was investigated. They were deposited by the method of plasma electrolytic oxidation at the applied voltage of 160 V for 1 min. The phase composition, morphology and corrosion behaviour of the coatings in a physiological environment were studied. It was shown that the coatings formed at 1M and 2M KOH, when the predominant phases are hydroxyapatite or calcium titanate, have the optimal surface characteristics.
