Abstract
A calcium phosphate coating was prepared on the surface of micro-arc oxidized magnesium by a chemical method. The microstructure evolution of the coating was characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that Ca 10(PO4)6(OH)2 (HA) was firstly formed on the surface of micro-arc oxidized magnesium, followed by flake-like CaHPO4·2H2O (DCPD). The solution pH and Ca 2+ concentration had intense influence on the formation of calcium phosphate coating. Acidic Ca2+ enrichment solution was favourable for HA formation on the surface of micro-arc oxidized magnesium. High concentration of HPO42- and low concentration of Ca2+ in acidic solution improved the formation of DCPD coating.
