Abstract :
The hybrid method allows the formation of biocomposites on stainless steel implants. Such multilayer coatings consist of a titanium primer layer and a microarc calcium-phosphate coating. The composite structure of the coating allows combining the properties of good strength stainless steel with high bioactivity of calcium-phosphate layer. It is expedient to use such biocomposites for implants which carry heavy loads and are intended for long-term use, e.g. total knee endoprosthesis.
