Abstract

Magnesium alloys have good biocompatibility and degradability, which are considered ideal characteristics of biomedical implants. However, there are few studies on the influence of the addition of micro-amounts of Ca on magnesium alloys. In this work, the effects of adding micro-amounts of Ca on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion properties of Mg-0.1Mn-1.0Zn-xCa (x = 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 wt.%) alloys were investigated. The results reveal that the grain size of the alloy decreased and the yield strength and elongation both increased with increasing Ca concentrations. Corrosion tests in Kokubo simulated body fluid showed that the in vitro immersion rate first slowed down and then increased (6.395 → 6.283 → 6.395 mm/year) with increasing Ca concentrations. This phenomenon was due to the addition of Ca causing grain refinement, which slowed the corrosion rate and generated an Mg₂Ca phase to accelerate corrosion. The second-phase Mg₂Ca precipitated at the grain boundary and acted as a cathode, and the metal magnesium phase acted as an anode to form a primary battery, which caused corrosion of the magnesium phase and accelerated the corrosion rate.
