Titanium and its alloys have long been used in biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility, high corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and flexibility. However, Ti-6Al-4V implants can release toxic ions in body fluid environments. To address this, hydroxyapatite (HAp) coating synthesized from snail shells (SHAp) using wet precipitation was deposited on Ti-6Al-4V via electro-deposition. Characterization using FTIR, XRD, FESEM, EDAX, AFM, and antibacterial studies confirmed improved bioactivity and antibacterial performance. Potentiodynamic polarization revealed improved corrosion resistance for coated samples. SHAp-coated Ti-6Al-4V demonstrated better antibacterial activity against E. coli than Staphylococcus aureus, suggesting its suitability for orthopedic applications. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
