The purpose of this study was to improve the cellular compatibility and corrosion resistance of AZ31 magnesium alloy and to prepare a biodegradable medical material. An aminated hydroxyethyl cellulose (AHEC) coating was successfully prepared on the surface of a micro-arc oxide +AZ31 magnesium alloy by sol–gel spinning. The pores of the micro-arc oxide coating were sealed. A polarization potential test analysis showed that compared to the single micro-arc oxidation coating, the coating after sealing with AHEC significantly improved the corrosion resistance of the AZ31 magnesium alloy and reduced its degradation rate in simulated body fluid (SBF). The CCK-8 method and cell morphology experiments showed that the AHEC + MAO coating prepared on the AZ31 magnesium alloy had good cytocompatibility and bioactivity.

Magnesium alloys inherently possess poor corrosion resistance. One of the surface modification techniques to improve the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys is Micro Arc Oxidation (MAO). Application of RZ5 magnesium alloy in aircraft industries demands assured corrosion resistance of RZ5. The quality of the ceramic oxide coating developed by MAO is influenced by various operating parameters. In this study, oxide coatings on RZ5 Magnesium alloy were developed by MAO at two different frequency levels (100Hz and 1000Hz) and at two duty cycles (10% and 90%) at a constant current density of 0.06A/cm2 for 15 minutes in a silicate based electrolyte (10g/l Na2SiO3.9H2O + 4g/l KOH). Results showed that the coating produced with the combination of higher frequency and lower duty cycle exhibits a better corrosion resistance than the coating produced with other combinations of parameters.

The effects of micro-arc oxidation (MAO) on corrosion resistance of Mg-Gd-Y-Zr magnesium alloy have been studied. The Mg-Gd-Y-Zr with thicker oxide coating presented higher corrosion resistance in simulated body fluid (SBF). The corrosion rates were measured by several methods including hydrogen evolution volume measurement, weight-loss method and determination of pH as an auxiliary reference. The surfaces of specimens were observed by SEM and white light confocal microscopy before and after the corrosion. Besides the effects of MAO, the pitting resulted from breakage of oxide coating played a notable role as well. This provided a new direction towards the enhancement of corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy.

Magnesium alloys have recently been attracting attention as a degradable biomaterial. They have advantages including non-toxicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. To develop magnesium alloys into biodegradable medical materials, previous research has quantitatively analyzed magnesium alloy corrosion by focusing on the overall changes in the alloy. Therefore, the objective of this study is to develop a bioactive material by applying a ceramic oxide coating (magnesia) on AZ31 magnesium alloy through micro-arc oxidation (MAO) process. This MAO process is conducted under pulsed bipolar constant current conditions in a Si- and P-containing electrolyte and the optimal processing parameters in corrosion protection are obtained by the Taguchi method to design a coating with good anti-corrosion performance. The negative duty cycle and treatment time are two deciding factors of the coating’s capability in corrosion protection. Microstructure characterizations are investigated by means of SEM and XRD. The simulation body-fluid solution is utilized for testing the corrosion resistance with the potentiodynamic polarization and the electrochemical impedance test data. Finally, an in vivo testing shows that the MAO-coated AZ31 has good cytocompatibility and anticorrosive properties.

In the Na2SiO3-NaOH-C3H8O3electrolyte system,the micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings were prepared on AZ31 magnesium alloy when J=2A/dm2,4A/dm2,8A/dm2and 12A/dm2.The relations of current density with microstructure and performance of the MAO coatings on AZ31 were studied by means of SEM, XRD, HVS-1000 micro Vicker, MFT-4000 Scratch Tester and electro-chemical method. The results show that when current density increases,the thickness,growth rate,micro-hardness and the contents of MgO and Mg2SiO4of MAO coatings increase,but the adhesion force between MAO coating and substrate decreases, the millipores and the roughness become larger.The corrosion resistance of MAO coatings increases firstly and then decreases with the increasing current density.The corrosion resistance of MAO coating,which J=6 A/dm2,is the best in 4.5% NaCl water solution,whose corrosion current density reduces by 3 orders of magnitude, and corrosion potential increases 1078mV in positive direction.

The composite coatings were obtained on a magnesium alloy by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) and sol-gel technique. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to evaluate the corrosion behavior of MAO coating and composite coatings in a 3.5% Na2SO4 solution. The results show that corrosion behavior of the MAO coating and composite coatings are different at different immersion times. The corrosion resistance of composite coatings is good than that of MAO coating.
