Hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on titanium alloy substrates Ti6Al4V have been prepared in our laboratory by electrodeposition and hydrothermal synthesis. In this paper, the morphology, crystal size, porosity and Ca/P atomic ratio are investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), Raman microspectroscopy and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDXS). The results obtained show that after being hydrothermally treated and calcined at high temperature, the electrodeposited brushite coating is converted into a stoichiometric hydroxyapatite having a crystal size which changes considerably from the surface to the substrate alloy. In addition, variation of the surface coating porosity as a function of the electrolyte temperature has also been carried out. (C) 2002 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
