Abstract
Biocoatings were formed on the surface of the Mg0.8Ca alloy by the method of micro-arc oxidation, in an electrolyte containing β-Ca3(PO4)2 (β-TCP) and CaSiO3, When the process voltage was varied in the range of 350–500 V, the thickness, roughness, and mass of the coatings increased to the values of 110 µm, 12 µm, and 11 mg, respectively. The presence of the following crystalline phases was determined in the coatings: α-TCP, wollastonite, forsterite and magnesium oxide. Coatings containing these compounds not only reduce the rate of bioresorption of the magnesium alloy, but also promote the process of bone tissue formation.
