In this paper nanocrystallite apatite coating on TiZr substrate was prepared by a biomimetic process. Surface morphology, thickness, crystalline phases a~nd bond strength of the coating were investigated by SEM, XRD and tensIle test, respectively. Results show that the apatite coating exhibIts a nanocrystalIite structure with similar stoichiometry to that of natural bone. The apatite layer becomes thicker with the increasing of the SBF immersion time and is firmly adhered to the substrate with the highest average bond strength of 15.5 MPa. This nanocrystallite apatite coating is expected to bond to surrounding bone tissue directly in vivo after implantation.
