Magnesium and its alloys are ideal candidates for biodegradable implants. However, they can dissolve too rapidly in the human body for most applications. In this research, high purified magnesium (HP-Mg) was coated with stearic acid in order to slow the corrosion rate of magnesium in simulated body fluid at 37{deg}C. HP-Mg was anodized to form an oxide/hydroxide layer, then it was immersed in a stearic acid solution. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization were used to estimate the corrosion rate of HP-Mg specimens. The results confirm that the hydrophobic coating can temporarily decrease the corrosion rate of HP-Mg by 1000x.
Metallic glasses are excellent candidates for biomedical implant applications due to their inherent strength and corrosion resistance. Use of metallic glasses in structural applications is limited, however, because bulk dimensions are challenging to
Magnesium and its alloys are ideal for biodegradable implants due to their biocompatibility and their low-stress shielding. However, they can corrode too rapidly in the biological environment. The objective of this research was to develop heat treatm
Despite decades of research, metallic corrosion remains a long-standing challenge in many engineering applications. Specifically, designing a material that can resist corrosion both in abiotic as well as biotic environments remains elusive. Here we d
Magnesium alloys have been considered to be potential biocompatible metallic materials. Further improvement on the anti-corrosion is expected to make this type of materials more suitable for biomedical applications in the fields of orthopedics, cardi
Magnesium alloys have been considered to be favorable biodegradable metallic materials used in orthopedic and cardiovascular applications. We introduce NH+2 to the AZ31 Mg alloy surface by ion implantation at the energy of 50 KeV with doses ranging f
