Ti alloys are one of the most preferred biomaterials in the body due to their superior mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, it is known that when these alloys are subjected to wear depending on where they are used, ion and particle release from the structure into the body occurs. In order to prevent this, surface treatments are preferred, and other desired properties can be gained without damaging the superior properties of Ti alloys. In this context, within the scope of this study, Ti6Al4V samples produced by selective laser melting (SLM) method were coated with bioactive glass at different concentrations using electrophoretic storage (EPD), a green coating method that does not require heat treatment. Necessary morphological and structural examinations were made before and after the coating. After coating, coated and uncoated samples were subjected to tribology tests in dry medium and in liquid medium using stimulated body fluid (SBF). As a result of the examinations, it was observed that the wear resistance of the coated samples increased in both mediums compared to the uncoated samples.
