Micro‐arc oxidation and electrophoretic deposition of nano‐grain merwinite (Ca3MgSi2O8) surface coating on magnesium alloy as biodegradable metallic implant
Abstract
Magnesium alloys are promising biomaterials as biodegradable implant for orthopedic applications. However, their low corrosion resistance and poor bioactivity have prohibited their implant applications. In order to enhance these two properties, a nano‐grain merwinite coating was prepared on magnesium alloy. Its corrosion and the bioactivity behavior were characterized with electrochemical and immersion tests. The results showed that the nano‐grain merwinite coating can improve both the corrosion resistance and the bioactivity of the magnesium alloy making it an appropriate material for biodegradable bone implants.
