Abstract Magnesium and its alloys are excellent implant material candidates with their biodegradable structure mechanical properties close to human bone. In order provide the desired strength in applications, corrosion resistance of materials is expected be high. this study, improve AZ31 AZ91 magnesium alloys, an electrostatic hydroxyapatite coating process was applied, optimum conditions were ...

Nano Al films were prepared on AZ31 magnesium alloy samples by DC magnetron sputtering. The effects of sputtering power the microstructure and corrosion resistance film investigated. results show that surface aluminum is dense polycrystalline state, it oriented along (111) crystal plane. grain size first increases then decreases with increase power. When exceeds 100 W, there no insignificant ef...

The electrochemical and corrosion behaviour of Al-6061, Al-4.5%Cu and Al-7.5%Cu alloys were studied in 0.50 M KSCN solution at 25 C. Open-circuit potential, Tafel polarization and ICP-AES measurements were used to study the uniform corrosion process on the surfaces of the tested alloys. Cyclic polarization measurements were employed for pitting corrosion studies. Obtained results were compared ...

FeMn alloys show a great potential for the use as a biodegradable material for medical vascular implants. To optimize the material properties, with respect to the intended application, new fabrication methods also have to be investigated. In this work different Fe-FeMn32 multilayer films were deposited by magnetron sputtering. The deposition was done on a substrate structured by UV lithography....

Corrosion behavior of solution annealed high-carbon and low-carbon CoCrMo wrought alloy, commonly used in medical joint implants, was investigated. The surface passivation properties remained similar with and without the various solution anneal conditions, while the rate of corrosion was lower for solution annealed high-carbon CoCrMo. Corrosion was found to target phase boundaries and certain g...

A partially fluorine substituted hydroxyapatite- (FHA-) coated Mg-Zn alloy was prepared to investigate the interfacial behavior of degradable Mg-based biomaterials with degradable bioactive coatings in a cell culture environment. Peaks from the results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) were characterized and compared before and after cell culture. It was found that Ca-P, including poorly crystalline i...

The electron beam melting (EBM) is a useful technique for fabricating alloys that are difficult to machine and require expensive tools as well as the presence of inert atmosphere for further treatments. Under vacuum, EBM provides a controlled environment, reducing the drawbacks of the alloys of their processing in a conventional manner and thereby improving their microstructure, which can enhan...

In the present study, a forged CoCrMo (ISO 5832-12) has been subjected to pulsed plasma treatment in a N2/H2 atmosphere at low temperatures (below 500 C). This treatment resulted in the formation of a layer composed by dispersed chromium nitride particles in a N-enriched metal matrix. The materials were tested for corrosion and tribocorrosion performance in 0.9 wt% NaCl at room temperature unde...

The corrosion behaviour of AZ31 magnesium alloy with different grain sizes immersed in simulated body fluids was compared in chloride solution (8 gl(-1)) and in phosphate-buffer solution (PBS). The influence of immersion time was also analyzed. Electrochemical techniques such as open circuit potential, polarization curves, transient currents and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, complemen...
