Unlabelled: The objective of this study was to physico/chemically characterize and determine the corrosion resistance of a Calcium-Phosphate (Ca-P) based bioceramic thin coating processed by a sputtering process on titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). The samples utilized in this study were uncoated and coated disks of 10 mm diameter by 3 mm thickness. The coating was characterized by SEM, XPS + ion beam milling (IBM), thin-film mode XRD, and atomic force microscope (AFM) (n = 3).
