Microstructure and corrosion behavior of laser surface-treated AZ31B Mg bio-implant material

Abstract: Although magnesium and magnesium alloys are considered biocompatible and biodegradable, they suffer from poor corrosion performance in the human body environment. In light of this, surface modification via rapid surface melting of AZ31B Mg alloy using a continuous-wave Nd:YAG laser was conducted. Laser processing was performed with laser energy ranging from 1.06 to 3.18 J/mm. The corrosion behavior in simulated body fluid of laser surface-treated and untreated AZ31B Mg alloy samples was evaluated using electro… Show more

“…The low density of magnesium, which is 36 and 78% lighter than aluminium and steel, respectively, makes it the most promising candidate for lighting sources [6] and energy storage like water/seawater-activated magnesium batteries [7]. Moreover, Mg-based alloys are attractive candidates for using in biomedical engineering as biodegradable temporary implants [8][9][10]. However, traditionally, Mg-based alloys comprise less than 1% of a vehicle's weight [11].…”

“…The fine grain boundaries acted as nucleation sites for HA formation, and the Ca/P ratio of biomineralization product was 1.68. The characteristic microstructure also exhibited uniform corrosion due to the homogeneous distribution of the intermetallic phase that acted as a corrosion barrier (Wu et al, 2017). Zhang et al (2019a) investigated the effect of melting and surface texturing during LSM on degradation of Mg-Gd-Ca alloys.…”

“…This was due to high water jet pressure (p) = 100Mpa with successive passes. It permitted minimum energy for the creation of surface waviness on the peened region [33], leading to the desired roughened surface layer directly associated with the surface energy of the implant and later on affecting the protein absorption and wettability of the surface. Surface wettability enhanced cell adhesion, cell proliferation and prevent premature failure of implant.…”
