A Novel Biodegradable Phosphate Coating on AZ31B Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

Mg and its alloys draw more and more attentions to be used as biodegradable medical materials. But the rapid degradation of those materials limits their clinical applications. In this article, a phosphate coating was prepared on AZ31B magnesium alloy to improve its anti-corrosion property. Morphology, composition and corrosion resistance of the coating were studied. The SEM research showed that the coating that composed of rod-like phosphates with small amount of random distributed micro-voids was approximately10-20μm in thickness. The XRD analysis indicated that the coating was mainly composed of MgO, Mg3(PO4)2and Zn3(PO4)2·xH2O. Electrochemical test showed the phosphate treatment could significant improve the corrosion resistance of AZ31B.
