The effect of the magnitude of the US (ultrasound) power applied during the MAO (micro arc oxidation) process on the morphology, elemental and phase composition of the CaP coatings was studied. The US at different power (50-200 W) applying during the MAO process led to the local destruction of the structure elements (spheres and pores) and local filling the pore spaces on the coating surface, and to the formation of local macro-pores inside the coatings near the substrate. Such morphological transformations led to the surface and structure heterogeneity of the coatings, increasing of the surface roughness from 3.0 to 4.5 μm and of the thickness from 50 to 60 μm. The US application at different power did not affect significantly the elemental composition of the coatings. At the same time, under applied US with power more than 100 W, the state of the coatings transformed from X-ray amorphous to the quasiamorphous with the small incorporation of crystalline phases of CaHPO 4 and β-Ca 2 P 2 O 7 .
