HA/TiO 2 composite coating were fabricated via adding TiO 2 powder in the electrolyte by electrodeposition.The influence of current dens ity and deposition time on the content of TiO 2 in the coating,the influence of the content of TiO 2 in the coating on the bonding strength of coating and the influence of sinte ring temperature on the structure and the bonding strength of coating were inves tigated.The experiment results show that the content of TiO 2 in the coating increase with reducing the current density and prolonging the deposition time,the bonding strength improve with increasing the content of TiO 2 in the coating,which can obtain18.7MPa when the weight percent TiO 2 in the coating attain72.2%.The addition of TiO 2 in the coating reduces the thermal expansion co - efficient of the coating,improves the bonding strength of coating and change s the fracture mechanism of the coat - ing from adhesion failure to cohesive failure.HA in the composite coatings i s decomposed by the catalysis reac - tion of TiO 2 at the temperature of sinter850 ℃ .Differential scanning calorimetry and X - ray diffractometry analy - ses showed that the chemical reaction between HA and TiO 2 lead to the product are α- TCP and CaTiO 3 at the temperature of sinter1200 ℃ .In order to prevent the coating from decomposing and attain hign bonding st rength,the sintering temperature should be less than820 ℃ .
