Abstract: The ceramic coating was formed by using microarc oxidation (MAO) in the electrolytic solution of β-Glycerophosphate sodium salt pentahydrate (β-GP) and calcium acetate (CA). The microstructure, phase structure and phase composition were investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), energy dispersive X-ray microanalyser (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electron probe micro analyzer (EPMA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Investigation of the chemical composition of the coating with EDX revealed that Ca and P of high concentration existed in oxide films. XRD patterns indicated that the oxide film was composed of only anatase at low voltage discharge, and that rutile peaks appear in addition to anatase peak with increasing MAO voltage. Despite the existence of Ca and P, compounds concerning Ca and P were not detected in the oxide film.
