Abstract
Calcium phosphate coatings on titanium alloy substrates are synthesized by pulsed electrodeposition and characterized by scanning electron microscopy associated to energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and by X-ray diffraction. The corrosion behavior of CaP/Ti6Al4V systems and uncoated Ti6Al4V are investigated using electrochemical methods in three physiological solutions and simulated with an equivalent circuit. The results reveal that the calcium phosphate coatings act as a protective layer especially when electrodeposition is carried out in the presence of hydrogen peroxide into the electrolyte which is used to control the chemical composition of the coatings and which implies a control of the corrosion behavior of the prosthetic material.
