Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Zn doped CaP coatings prepared by micro-arc oxidation method on MgCa1 alloy degradation. The results showed that the addition of Zn into CaP increased the corrosion resistance of MgCa1 alloy and enhanced the adhesion strength of the coatings. All samples exhibited cytocompatibility and the degradation rate of MgCa1 alloy in simulated body fluids (SBF) or DMEM was decreased by coating with CaP, which was further reduced by adding a small amount of Zn. The samples with CaP coatings and Zn doped CaP coating also demonstrated antibacterial efficacy against E.coli.

Summary: In this research, a self-assembled amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC)@curcumin (Cur) loaded polymethyltrimethoxysilane (PMTMS) coating on micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coated magnesium (Mg) alloy was proposed to overcome the issues of rapid corrosion and bacterial infection in using biodegradable Mg alloy for biomedical materials.

Summary: The microstructure, mechanical properties, and degradation rates of LX11 and LX41 alloys were studied through optical microscopy, tensile tests, and electrochemical tests. The LX11 alloy exhibited finer grains, fewer twins, and smaller intermetallic phase volume fractions compared to the LX41 alloy. Increasing Li concentration resulted in a slight decrease in yield strength, a substantial increase in elongation, and a stable ultimate tensile strength for the Mg-Li-Ca alloys. LX11 alloy showed superior corrosion resistance compared to LX41 alloy. The release rate of metallic ions in Hank's solution cannot accurately reflect the corrosion rate of Mg-Li-Ca alloys due to the formation of corrosion products and their solubility difference.

Summary: This study investigates the corrosion behavior and mechanical properties of an extruded Mg-4Li-1Ca alloy under different micro-compressive stresses. The results show that micro-compressive stress can induce grain growth and precipitation of second-phase particles, accelerating the corrosion rate. However, when the stress level reaches a certain point, the volume fraction of the second phase becomes the dominant factor controlling the corrosion rate, and residual stress is released, forming corrosion product films that weaken the microstructural effect on corrosion behavior.
