AZ31B Mg alloy was anodized under the current density of 20 mA cm-2 for 3.6 ks in KOH alkaline solutions contains 0.60 M KF, 0.09 M Na3PO4.12H2O, 0.45 M Al (OH)3and 0.13 M KMnO4at 298 °C. Pores structure anodic film was formed on magnesium alloy surface; the pours structure was also observed in the lower part of the anodic film. The anodic film consisted of MgO and MgAl2O4. The anodized film showed higher pitting potential from anodic polarization measurement in 0.1 M NaCl solution compared to non-anodized magnesium alloy specimen and leads to improve the corrosion resistance of anodized AZ31 magnesium alloy.

In current orthodontic practice, miniscrew implants (MSIs) for anchorage and bone fixation plates (BFPs) for surgical orthodontic treatment are commonly used. MSIs and BFPs that are made of bioabsorbable material would avoid the need for removal surgery. We investigated the mechanical, degradation and osseointegration properties and the bone-implant interface strength of the AZ31 bioabsorbable magnesium alloy to assess its suitability for MSIs and BFPs. The mechanical properties of a Ti alloy (TiA), AZ31 Mg alloy (MgA), pure Mg and poly-L-lactic acid (PLA) were investigated using a nanoindentation test. Also, pH changes in the solution and degradation rates were determined using immersion tests. Three-dimensional, high-resolution, micro-computed tomography (CT) of implants in the rat femur was performed. Biomechanical push-out testing was conducted to calculate the maximum shear strength of the bone-implant interface. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), histological analysis and an evaluation of systemic inflammation were performed. MgA has mechanical properties similar to those of bone, and is suitable for implants. The degradation rate of MgA was significantly lower than that of Mg. MgA achieved a significantly higher bone-implant bond strength than TiA. Micro-CT revealed no significant differences in bone density or bone-implant contact between TiA and MgA. In conclusion, the AZ31 Mg alloy is suitable for both MSIs and BFPs.

Surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) has so far been used as a technique for improving mechanical and tribological properties of magnesium and its alloys. However, the effects of the SMAT on corrosion and degradability of these materials are still rarely reported in open literature. In this research, the degradation behavior of AZ31B magnesium alloy after receiving the SMAT was characterized. The degradation behavior of the Mg alloy was determined from the weight losses after an immersion test for 24 h in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. During the test, the pH of the solution was also monitored. The results obviously showed higher corrosion rates of the Mg alloy that had been treated by using the SMAT. Interestingly, the degradation rate of the Mg alloy decreased once a longer duration of SMAT was applied. Meanwhile, the pH of NaCl solution increased up to 12 and 13.9 once the non-treated and the SMAT specimens were immersed into the solution, respectively. In addition, the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis confirmed the presence of corrosion products in all the Mg samples that were similar to those revealed in the literature.

The effect of restored energy items in recrystallization simulation of AZ31 Mg alloy was studied with multi-order phase field model, and the impact factors during the recrystallization were discussed by changing the parameters of the restored energy item. The simulation results showed that the greater the restored energy, the greater the number of the recrystallized grains.

PPy/silane composite film on a magnesium alloy surface was prepared by one-step cycle voltammetry. The mixed solution of methanol and water was used as the hydrolysis solvent of a γ-(2,3-glycidoxypropyl) trimethoxysilane coupling agent (KH-560). The surface morphology of the PPy/silane film, the electro-polymerization progress of KH-560 and PPy, the influence of the silane coupling agent and the corrosion behavior of the coated AZ31 Mg alloy were all investigated. The results indicated that the PPy/silane film on AZ31 Mg alloy via one-step cyclic voltammetry could provide better corrosion protection for an Mg alloy when the volume fraction of KH-560 in the hydrolysis solution was 15% and the time span of hydrolysis was 24 h with the 5.935 × 10−10 A cm−2 corrosion current density.

In this work, one coating is comprised of ZrO2 and the other consists of MgO as main phase composition was produced on AZ31 magnesium alloy using one-step plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). The purpose of this work was to study the corrosion resistance and cytocompatibility of the above-coated AZ31 magnesium alloys in order to provide a basis for AZ31 Mg alloy’s clinical applications of biomedical use. The morphology and phase composition of the coatings were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The corrosion properties were examined using electrochemical testing, hydrogen evolution measurements, and immersion tests in a simulated body fluid (SBF). Compared with bare magnesium and the MgO coating, the ZrO2-containing coating exhibited an improved corrosion resistance. Cell proliferation assays and cell morphology observations showed that the ZrO2-containing coating was not toxic to the L-929 cells. The ZrO2 coating was much denser and more homogeneous than the MgO coating, hence the corrosion resistance of the ZrO2-coated AZ31 Mg alloy was superior and more stable than the MgO-coated AZ31 Mg alloy, and ZrO2/AZ31 did not induce a cytotoxic reaction to L-929 cells and promote cell growth.

Formability is very important parameter of magnesium alloy sheets and it would be related to the texture of sheet metals. In this study, magnesium alloy sheets with strong {0002} texture were cut along the angles of 0, 12.5, 25 and 37.5 degrees to rolling direction (RD). Prepared samples were rolled at room temperature condition. Cold rolled AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets along the angles of 0, 12.5, 25, 37.5 and 45 degrees to rolling direction were investigated microstructure and texture with optical microscopy and x-ray diffractometer, respectively.

Oxide films have been produced on AM60B magnesium alloy using micro-arc oxidation process in an environmentally friendly alkaline solution with and without addition of different oxides nanoparticles (TiO2, ZrO2 and Al2O3). In order to seal the oxides porosity generated in the sparking process, a silane-based top coat has been applied. The surface morphology of samples was analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Scratch tests were performed for evaluating the adhesion strength of the anodic oxides. The corrosion resistance of the oxide- silane- based topcoat composite coatings was evaluated in 3.5% NaCl solution using anodic polarization tests. The anodizing in oxides nanoparticles rich solutions (ZrO2 or Al2O3), followed by a silane top coat treatment performed using OSi as precursor, is an interesting way to synthesize adherent corrosion resistant coatings on magnesium alloy AM60B.

Divided flow extrusion deformation behaviors and as-extruded tube properties of AZ31-Ce-Sb alloy were investigated. Addition of Sb and RE in AZ31 could accelerate the nucleation of dynamic recrystallization grains and refine tube microstructure. Compared to AZ31 Mg alloy, higher deformation temperature, extrusion speed and ration were allowed. AZ31-1%Ce-1%Sb alloy tubes had much better comprehensive performance.
