Firstly, a layer of silicate-based coating was formed on the base metal using the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) method. A second layer of calcium phosphate (CaP) was formed on the PEO coating using the electrodeposition method. in vitro electrochemical degradation testings showed that the double layer coating (PEO-CaP) has significantly improved the initial degradation resistance of the metal. Localized degradation was not evident on the PEO-CaP coated metal even after 72 h exposure to simulated body fluid (SBF).}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matlet.2014.03.094} (DOI).
