Corrosion Assessment And Enhanced Biocompatibility Analysis Of Biodegradable Magnesium-Based Alloys, Luis Enrique Pompa
Corrosion Assessment And Enhanced Biocompatibility Analysis Of Biodegradable Magnesium-Based Alloys, Luis Enrique Pompa
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
Magnesium alloys have raised immense interest to many researchers because of its evolution as a new third generation material. Due to their biocompatibility, density, and mechanical properties, magnesium alloys are frequently reported as prospective biodegradable implant materials. Moreover, magnesium based alloys experience a natural phenomena to biodegrade in aqueous solutions due to its corrosive activity, which is excellent for orthopedic and cardiovascular applications. However, major concerns with such alloys are fast and non-uniform corrosion degradation. Controlling the degradation rate in the physiological environment determines the success of an implant. In this investigation, three grades of magnesium alloys: AZ31B, AZ91E and …
