Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article provides the results of the preparation of calcium phosphate coatings by plasma electrolytic oxidation. Calcium phosphate coatings are formed on titanium scaffolds with a porous structure. Titanium scaffolds are products of additive manufacturing equipment by selective laser melting. The morphology of the obtained coating, phase and elemental composition are described, the Ca/P ratio of the coating is dete rmined. The surface of the scaffold is porous due to the baking of powder particles during production. XRD analysis shows the presence of calcium phosphate and oxide compounds. The resulting oxide coating is evenly distributed over the porous surface of the scaffold. Titanium, aluminum and vanadium are located in the areas of the coating free of calcium phosphate particles. The average Ca/P ratio for the resulting coating was 2.48. This value is close to the Ca/P ratio in human bone. It is concluded that the use of the PEO method is promising for the manufacture of scaffolds with a porous structure with calcium phosphate coatings for use in traumatology and orthopedics. The use of titanium scaffolds with a porous structure with calcium phosphate coatings will improve the osseointegration of implants and exclude the possibility of implant failure.
