Effect of the second-step voltages on the structural and corrosion properties of silicon–calcium–phosphate (Si–CaP) coatings on Mg–Zn–Ca alloy

The applications of magnesium (Mg) alloys as biodegradable orthopedic implants are mainly restricted due to their rapid degradation rate in the physiological environment. In this study, Si–CaP micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings were prepared on a Mg–Zn–Ca alloy by a second-step MAO process at differ...
