In the field of surgery, bioresorbable magnesium is considered a promising candidate. Its low corrosion resistance, which is disadvantageous for technical application, is advantageous for surgery since the implant fully degrades in the presence of the water-based body fluids, and after a defined time the regenerating bone takes over its function again. Therefore, knowledge of the corrosion behavior over several months is essential. For this reason, an in vitro short-time testing method is developed to accelerate the corrosion progress by galvanostatic anodic polarization without influencing the macroscopic corrosion morphology. The initial corrosion rate of the magnesium alloy WE43 is calculated by detection of the hydrogen volume produced in an immersion test. In a corresponding experimental setup, a galvanostatic anodic polarization is applied with a three-electrode system. The application range for the polarization is determined based on the corrosion current density from potentiodynamic polarization. To correlate the initial corrosion rate, and accelerated dissolution rate, the corrosion morphologies of both test strategies are characterized by microscopy images, as well as energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that the dissolution rate can be increased in the order of decades with the limitation of a changed corrosion morphology with increasing polarization. With this approach, it is possible to characterize and exclude new unsuitable magnesium alloys in a time-efficient manner before they are used in subsequent preclinical studies.

To develop high wear-resistant protective materials for magnesium alloy, high-silica Al-based alloy modified via P-element was fabricated by DC casting method. Microstructure of ingot samples was observed by using optical microscopy (OM), etc. The results demonstrated that Al-Si-0.01%P alloy with unique microstructure and without defects such as voids and rarefaction might be generated by processing control. Owing to modification by Al-P interalloy, primary crystal silicon phase in hypereutectic Al-Si alloy were refined effectively. Its size in Al-18Si-0.01%P alloy decreased from 50μm to 20μm, and distributed uniquely than that in Al-18Si alloy. Al-P acted as heterogeneous core of primary crystal silicon phase, which was the main mechanism for Al-P interalloy to modify primary crystal silicon in Al-Si alloy.

Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) of metals enables the manufacturing of highly complex geometries which opens new application fields in the medical sector, especially with regard to personalized implants. In comparison to conventional manufacturing techniques, L-PBF causes different microstructures, and thus, new challenges arise. The main objective of this work is to investigate the influence of different manufacturing parameters of the L-PBF process on the microstructure, process-induced porosity, as well as corrosion fatigue properties of the magnesium alloy WE43 and as a reference on the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V. In particular, the investigated magnesium alloy WE43 showed a strong process parameter dependence in terms of porosity (size and distribution), microstructure, corrosion rates, and corrosion fatigue properties. Cyclic tests with increased test duration caused an especially high decrease in fatigue strength for magnesium alloy WE43. It can be demonstrated that, due to high process-induced surface roughness, which supports locally intensified corrosion, multiple crack initiation sites are present, which is one of the main reasons for the drastic decrease in fatigue strength.

Microstructures and macrosegregation of AZ80 magnesium alloy billets cast with and without the electromagnetic vibration were investigated. Compared with the conventional DC casting, microstructures of the billet have been greatly refined and the macrosegregation had been effectively reduced in electromagnetic vibration casting conditions. Increasing the electromagnetic vibration intensity, including both the stationary magnetic field and alternating magnetic field, leads to finer grains and more uniform distribution of solute elements in the billet.
