Dicalcium-phosphate dehydrate, converted to hydroxyapatite by post-treatment in sodium hydroxide, and fluoridated hydroxyapatite were electrodeposited on commercially pure magnesium substrates that were pretreated with sodium hydroxide. The coatings’ crystalline structure, thickness, scratch hardnes...
