This study involved modification of the surface of Ti by micro‐arc oxidation ( MAO ). A rough and porous oxide film with good wettability was formed on the Ti surface. This MAO ‐treated film exhibited a meta‐amorphous structure comprising crystalline anatase and rutile TiO 2 as well as amorphous phases. In addition, the incorporation of Ca and P in the MAO ‐treated film was induced by micro‐arc discharge. The biological responses of the MAO ‐treated surfaces were evaluated by observing the adhesion of MG 63 osteoblast‐like cells and platelets. The MAO ‐treated Ti had a considerably better biocompatibility and blood compatibility than untreated Ti .
