In the present study, Functionally gradient HA-ZrO2-Ti coatings (FGC) on Ti6Al4V were prepared by the plasma spraying process. The residual stress and surfacial morphology of coating were studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy with an energy dispersive spectroscopy. The results showed that: (1) the residual stress of FGC is 72.1Mpa, much lower than that of single HA coating, (2) The surfacial morphology of the FGC showed typical characteristics of plasma-sprayed coating, no microcracks was observed because of its the thermal expansion matched between the gradient coating and substrate.
