        abstract = {Although coating the biomaterials with hydroxyapatite powder (HAp) mixed electro discharge machining (EDM) is required to improve their biological responses, the modified 316L stainless steel shows a low coating adhesion and cracked surface, which is prone to poor corrosion resistance and surface integrity. In addition, inferior biological responses are noticed, since a little amount of HAp is detected{\^A} in the coating. The primary objective of this study is to assess the CNT reinforced HAp-based coating on a{\^A} 316L stainless{\^A} steel to improve the surface features, corrosion and biocompatibility. This study also establishes a link between the process variables and the material{\^a}??s properties and shows the feasibility of multiple additive mixed EDM method. Following ASTM standard, several surface characterization tools were used to characterize the surface of the modified 316L stainless{\^A} steel. CNT (0.4{\^A} g/l) added to the HAp mixed-EDM method results in a uniform and thin coating of 12.4{\^A} {\^A}um with shallow{\^A} craters, nanopores and no cracks. A small corrosion rate of 0.00033{\^A} mm per annum is recorded. The presence of carbon incorporated Ca{\^a}??P-based alloys in the coating ensures a high coating adhesion of 32.6{\^A} MPa and a high biocompatibility of more than 95 alive cells. {\^A}{\copyright} 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH, DE part of Springer Nature.}
