In this article, the process of creating calcium phosphate coatings through plasma electrolytic oxidation was investigated. Calcium phosphate coatings were deposited onto titanium substrates fabricated via the selective laser melting (SLM) method. The correlation between the characteristics of the coating and the applied voltage (200, 250, and 300 V) of PEO was studied. The surface morphology analysis indicates that an increase in applied voltage results in a larger pore size. It was discovered that, when a voltage of 300 V was applied, a layer of hydroxyapatite formed. However, at 300 V, the coating cracked, producing a significantly rough surface. Our analysis of the elemental composition of sample cross sections indicates the presence of TiO2 layers that are enriched with calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P). The coefficient of friction and wear rate are primarily influenced by the morphology, pore size, and density of the titanium dioxide layer. Furthermore, a rise in the quantity of the beta phase of the titanium on the surface can be noticed as the applied voltage increases. As a result, it also affects the mechanical and tribological characteristics of the coating. The sample treated to a voltage of 250 V demonstrates a higher resistance to wear and a lower elastic modulus in comparison to the other two coatings.
