ABSTRACT
In this work, the SEM and EDS results of porous and enriched in calcium or zinc coatings, which were obtained during 3-minute treatments using Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (Micro Arc Oxidation) processes on CP Titanium Grade 2 at ramp potentials (linear polarization) from 0 up to 650 VDC in electrolytes containing 500 g Ca(NO3)2∙4H2O and/or 500 g Zn(NO3)2∙6H2O in 1 L H3PO4, are presented. It was found that obtained coatings have pores with different shapes and diameters. The Ca/P and Zn/P ratios by atomic concentration are the same and equal to 0.2, what may suggest hydroxyapatite-like structure (M,Ti)x(PO4)y, where M= {Ca, Zn}.
