A new technique has been developed for improving corrosion resistance on magnesium alloys. Specimens of AZ31 magnesium alloy were dipped into molten salt of NaBF4 at 723 K for various times, and then cooled, rinsed with water, and dried in air. Corrosion resistance in the surface treated specimens was evaluated by salt immersion test using 1 % NaCl solution as a time for occurring filiform corrosion. On an un-treated AZ31 alloy, the time for starting the filiform corrosion was about 1.2 ks, while on the surface treated specimen, the time was prolonged into about 1300 ks. Moreover, the surface treated specimen showed corrosion resistance in low pH solutions, such as 1 % HNO3 and HCl solutions.

The stress corrosion cracking behaviors of micro-arc oxidized AZ31 magnesium alloy were studied by using the slow tensile test in air and 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. Results showed that compared with the substrate, the stress corrosion cracking susceptibility of the micro-arc oxidized specimens was obvious improved apparently in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, due to the good corrosion resistance of the specimens after micro-arc oxidized coating treatment. In addition, regardless of the micro-arc oxidized treatment, it was the mixed fracture in air and the cleavage fracture in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. The micro-arc oxidized coating had no direct effect on the fracture mechanism of the alloy. It was closely related to the nature of the material and the environment of the material servicing.

In this paper, the corrosion resistance of two sand-casting creep resistant magnesium alloys Mg-9Al-1.5Ca-0.3Sr and Mg-9Al-2.2Ca-0.8Sr in the salt environment has been investigated. Specimens of each alloy has been immersed in 3.5% NaCl solution at room temperature and successively taken out after 1, 2, 4, 5 and 9 days. After immersion test, the microstructure and the appearances of the corroded structure were examined. The corrosion rates of both investigated alloys increased lineally with increasing the exposure time in both solutions. Mg-9Al-1.5Ca-0.3Sr alloy exhibits the higher corrosion rate during the immersion test than Mg-9Al-2.2Ca-0.8Sr. The corrosion layer of both alloys consists of MgO, MgOH and phases containing Cl, Na, Al and Ca. The increase of Ca content in the Mg-9Al-2.2Ca-0.8Sr alloy improved the corrosion resistance due to the formation of the reticular (Mg,Al)2Ca phase, which acted as an effective barrier against corrosion.

Magnesium and its alloys have become potential implant materials in the future because of light weight, mechanical properties similar to natural bone, good biocompatibility, and degradability in physiological environment. However, due to the rapid corrosion and degradation of magnesium alloys in vivo, especially in the environment containing chloride ions, the application of magnesium alloys as implant materials has been limited. Therefore, improving the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy and ensuring good biocompatibility is the main focus of the current research. In this study, hydroxyapatite coating was prepared on magnesium alloy surface using carboxymethyl cellulose-dopamine hydrogel as inducer to improve corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. Surface characterization techniques (scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy- and X-ray diffraction) confirmed the formation of hydroxyapatite on the surface of AZ31 alloy. Corrosion resistance tests have proved the protective effect of Carboxymethyl cellulose-Dopamine/hydroxyapatite (CMC-DA/HA) coating on the surface of AZ31 alloy. According to MC3T3-E1 cell viability and Live/Dead staining, the coating also showed good biocompatibility. The results will provide new ideas for the biological application of magnesium alloys.

Currently, magnesium alloys are gaining great interest for medical applications due to their degrading properties in the human body ensuring a great biocompatibility. These alloys also provide profitable mechanical properties due similarities with human bone.  However, a difficulty in applying these materials in the biomaterials industries is the corrosion prior to cell healing. The effect of the chemical composition of Mg alloys on their corrosion behavior is well known. In this study, samples of AZ31 magnesium alloy were cut into chips for elemental chemical analysis by neutron activation analysis (NAA). Concentrations of the elements As, La, Mg, Mn, Na, Sb and Zn were determined in the AZ31 alloy. Visualization tests of agar corrosion development in various media, of 0.90% sodium chloride solution (mass), phosphate buffer saline (PBS) and simulated body fluid (SBF) were performed. Visualizations of the effect of agar gel corrosion revealed pH variation during the corrosion process due to the released into the cathode. The highest released of hydroxyl ions occurred in NaCl solution compared to PBS and SBF solutions indicating that NaCl solution was much more aggressive to the alloy compared to the others.

The microstructures and corrosion resistance of AZ91 and AZ91+0.5 wt.% erbium (Er) magnesium alloys were studied, respectively. The results show that the Er addition in scrap AZ91 magnesium alloy can improve the corrosion resistance, markedly. The discontinuous precipitation phase (DPP) for Mg17Al12was retarded and the amount of DPP was decreased by 41% due to the formation of Al8ErMn4phase during solidification. The amount of continuous precipitation phase (CPP) in grains was decreased by 8% because of the formation of Al7ErMn5phase during solidification.

Influence of surfactants on the corrosion properties of chromium-free electroless nickel deposit were investigated on AZ91D magnesium alloy. The corrosion tests were carried out by immersion test (1 M HCl) and electrochemical polarization test (3.5 wt% NaCl ). The surfactants in the electroless nickel bath increases the corrosion resistance properties of the deposit on the magnesium alloy. In addition, smoothness and amorphous plus nano-crystalline phase were increased and accounted for the significant corrosion resistance. As a consequence, the corrosion potential moved towards the positive direction and the corrosion current density decreased. The immersion tests also provided the same trend as that of electrochemical polarization test. On the whole, the study concluded that corrosion resistance was enhanced by including a surfactant in the electroless deposits on magnesium alloy.
