Effect of diffusion coating of Nd on the corrosion resistance of biodegradable Mg implants in simulated physiological electrolyte

Corrosion Behavior of AlSi10Mg Alloy Produced by Additive Manufacturing (AM) vs. Its Counterpart Gravity Cast Alloy

“…The pitting characterization was evaluated according to ASTM G46 standard. The potentiodynamic polarization analysis was carried out using a Bio-Logic SP-200 potentiostat equipped with Ec-Lab software V10.44 [10,11]. A standard three-electrode cell with a reference saturated calomel electrode (SCE) was used for this examination; the scanning rate was 0.5 mV/s.…”

The role of titania on the microstructure, biocorrosion and mechanical properties of Mg/HA-based nanocomposites for potential application in bone repair

“…Biodegradable metallic implants due to their high load-bearing capacity are considered as a substitute implant materials over bio-degradable polymers and bio-ceramics. The primary biodegradable metals are Fe-and Mg-based alloys, which degrade safely in the human body [10]. In particular, Mg-based alloys are very promising for biomedical applications [11].…”

“…During the immersion of the specimens, the Mg reacted with the SBF solution, and Mg(OH)2 formed on the sample surfaces based on reaction(10). Additionally, based on the X-ray diffraction pattern of the immersed samples, a smaller amount of Mg(OH)2 formed on the MHT10 and MHT15 samples compared to that of the MH27.5 and MHT5 samples due to the decrease in the immersion rate of Mg by increasing the TiO 2 content in the raw material of the bionanocomposite.…”

Microstructural characterization, biocorrosion evaluation and mechanical properties of nanostructured ZnO and Si/ZnO coated Mg/HA/TiO2/MgO nanocomposites

“…Although polymers are dominant in the current medical market, metal-based alloys due to their superior combination of strength and ductility over polymers have been proposed as better biodegradable materials for load-bearing applications. The primary biodegradable metals are iron-and magnesium-based alloys, which are degrade relatively safely in the human body [4]. In particular, magnesium-based alloys are very promising for use in biomedical applications [5].…”
