The paper presents study of a new approach to manufacturing carrier implants with a combination of bioactivity, biocompatibility, and mechanical properties, composite powders of hydroxyapatite and titanium with a mass content of 50:50 % when sprayed by gas detonation spraying. Experimental studies of the surface morphology and cross-section microstructure, phase composition and mechanical properties of HATi composite coatings are obtained. The experimental results showed that the cross-section microstructures of HATi composite coatings are typical plate structures comprising curved strips formed by well-deformed and oxidized Ti plates and limited deformed HA plates. Composite coatings’ morphology and phase states were studied using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry. It was found that the deprived coatings mainly consist of the phases HA, Ti and TiO. The elemental composition study results designated that the atomic ratio of calcium and phosphorus in the obtained coatings is Ca/P ~ 1.64, which is close to the value of the initial powder — Ca/P ~ 1.67. This indicates a limited change in the chemical composition during the coating formation.
