In this study, hydroxyapatite (HA) and fluoridated hydroxyapatite (FHA) as a comparison were deposited electrophoretically on a cobalt (Co)–chromium (Cr)-based implant to increase its surface bioactivity and reduce ion release. The coated substrates were then sintered at 650°C for 1 h. Typical apati...
