Discs of TiAl6V4 were cleaned and stored in calcium containing salt melt. The
characterization of the reaction layer was realized by TF-XRD, SEM, SIMS, AES, and eddy
current. The release of Ca ions was determined after storing the samples in TRIS-HCl buffer
solution under physiological conditions for at least 16 weeks. The thickness of the generated
calcium titanate layer varied in dependence on salt melt composition, temperature, and storing time
in the range of 0.4-0.9.m. The Ca content of the layer depends on melt composition, temperature
and storing time and was in the range from 5-42.g●cm-2 in correlation with the thickness. The
morphology of the layers also changed in dependence on the salt melt composition and the storing
time and temperature.
