Hydroxyapatite (HAP) coatings are applied on metallic implant materials to combine mechanical properties of metallic material with bioactivity abilities of HAP ceramic. In this study, HAP coatings with additions of Si and Mg are proposed to be deposited on Ti6Al4V substrates by RF magnetron sputteri...
