NiTi alloys are actively used in medicine as implants because of their mechanical properties. At the same time, however, the NiTi surface is not biologically active, which has a negative effect on osteogenesis. In addition, Ni is capable of causing various toxic reactions in the human body. It is therefore necessary to create a composite coating that is both bioactive and prevents the release of Ni ions. It has been shown that by changing the modes of plasma assisted RF sputtering of a calcium phosphate target, it is possible to obtain coatings with different contents of the amorphous phase. The coatings formed consist of hydroxyapatite and amorphous calcium phosphate. On the surface of a sample not treated with argon plasma, there are no phases containing calcium or phosphorus, although these elements are present on the surface. The different ways in which the CaP coatings were applied also affected their structure. It was found that the CaP coatings of samples M2 and M3 have mediocre corrosion resistance, dissolving quickly. This has a positive effect on the ability to osteogenesis, which was discovered as a result of in vitro tests. These tests have shown that the sample obtained at I discharge = 30 A and U bias = 30 V has the highest bioactivity and produces the lowest percentage of dead cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
