Formation of the Ti-6Zr-4Nb porous nanocrystalline alloy with Ca-P coating was described. The alloy was prepared by mechanical alloying followed by pressing and sintering. The porous bioactive surface was produced in two steps electrochemical treatment:  anodic oxidation in 1M H₃PO₄ + 2% HF electrolyte at 10V for 30min and subsequent cathodic Ca-P layer deposition at -5V for 1h, using a solution mixture of Ca(NO₃)₂ + (NH₄)₂HPO₄ + HCl. The microstructure and morphology of the biofunctionalized surface was studied by TEM, XRD, SEM, and optical profiler. The corrosion potentiodynamic tests were performed in Ringer’s solution. The corrosion current density does not significantly change after surface modification, indicating good corrosion resistance of the biofunctionalized surfaces. Biocompatibility was investigated by in vitro tests using normal human osteoblasts (NHOst) which showed good cells behavior. The nanocrystalline Ti-6Zr-4Nb alloy with modified surface is a possible candidate for hard tissue implant application.
