Notes:
An apatite layer was successfully formed on titanium substrates by electrochemicaldeposition under a pulse current in a metastable calcium phosphate solution, which had 1.5 times theion concentrations of a normal simulated body fluid, but did not contain MgCl2·6H2O, at 40 ºC for 30,60, 90 and 120 minutes at the average current density of 10 mA/cm2. The thickness of the apatite layerwas increased with increasing deposition time. The pulse-current deposition produced the thickerapatite layer than the direct-current deposition, and gave some effects on the surface morphology ofthe apatite. The pre-treatment using acid solution gave a better adhesive between apatite and substrate.It is expected that the present electrochemical deposition under a pulse current will be useful torapidly coat apatite on metallic materials
