ABSTRACT
The SEM and EDS study results of porous and calcium enriched coatings obtained via Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (Micro Arc Oxidation) on the Commercial Purity Titanium Grade 2 samples, at three potentials 450 VDC, 550 VDC, 650 VDC in electrolytes containing 500 g Ca(NO3)2∙4H2O in 1000 mL H3PO4, are presented in the paper. In the same electrolyte three Titanium samples, one after other, were treated, with the PEO processing time equaling 3 minutes after each immersion. Based on SEM and EDS results, it was possible to state that all obtained coatings are porous and their calcium-to-phosphorus (Ca/P) ratio decreases with decreasing PEO voltage. In addition, it was found out that electrolyte aging results in decreasing Ca/P ratio, too.
