Study on Corrosion and Degradation Behavior of Mg-Ca Alloy in Simulated Body Fluid

Article Preview

Abstract:

The corrosion and degradation behavior of Mg-Ca binary alloy in simulated body fluid (SBF) were studied by immersion of pure Mg and Mg-Ca alloys with different Ca contents in SBF. The corrosion process was carried out by real-time measurement of sample weight, pH value of SBF and the microstructures of the immersed samples at different immersion time observed by electron microscopy. The result shows that Mg-Ca alloy with 0.7% Ca has better corrosion resistance than the one with 2.0% Ca. The product generated on the surface of Mg-0.7Ca during the immersion was identified by X-ray diffraction and energy spectrum analysis.
