Magnesium is potentially useful for orthopedic and cardiovascular applications. Magnesium and its alloys are light, biodegradable, biocompatible metals that have promising applications as biomaterials. However, the corrosion rate of this metal is so high that its degradation occurs before the end of the healing process. One of the ways to improve the corrosion rate is to compose it with ceramic...

In automotive and aerospace fields, the use of lightweight materials is required. Magnesium its alloys combine a low density with high mechanical properties excellent thermal conductivity. However, those suffer from corrosion wear resistances. The combined action also critical for these materials. Tribocorrosion magnesium alloy AZ31 has been investigated reciprocal sliding as function applied l...

Abstract The dynamic mechanical properties of AZ31 magnesium alloys were analyzed under different strain rates by using a separated Hopkinson pressure bar system. microstructure the specimens was observed optical microscopy. results show that yield strength alloy is insensitive to rate. compressive increasing and shear deformation localization behavior more obvious with increase in Meanwhile, t...

The corrosion performances of rolled AZ31 alloy with addition Y and Gd were comparatively investigated. rates modified 3.3 3.7 mm/y immersing for 24 h in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, respectively, which much lower than that (23.6 mm/y). remarkable improvement performance by adding or was ascribed to preferentially form less noble Al2Y Al6GdMn6 more protective product layer, resulting the reduction H2...

Magnesium and its alloys are not normally used as bioresorbable temporary implants due to their high uncontrolled degradation rate in a physiological liquid environment. The improvement of corrosion resistance simulated body fluids (SBF) magnesium alloy (AZ31) coated with poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, contac...
