Graded bilayered glass–ceramic composite coatings on Ti6Al4V substrates were fabricated using an enameling technique. The layers consisted of a mixture of glasses in the CaO‐MgO‐Na2O‐K2O‐P2O5 system with different amounts of calcium phosphates (CPs). Optimum firing conditions have been determined fo...
