The role of solution heat treatment on corrosion and mechanical behaviour of Mg-Zn biodegradable alloys

The mechanical properties and bio-corrosion behaviours of T4 solid solution heat-treated Mg–1.5Zn and Mg–9Zn alloys at 340°C under different heat treatment durations were investigated. In vitro corrosion behaviour of the heat-treated alloys immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) were measured by ele...

description The mechanical properties and bio-corrosion behaviours of T4 solid solution heat-treated Mg–1.5Zn and Mg–9Zn alloys at 340°C under different heat treatment durations were investigated. In vitro corrosion behaviour of the heat-treated alloys immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) were measured by electrochemical, hydrogen evolution and mass loss tests. Surface examination and analytical studies were carried out using optical and scanning electron microscopy, EDX, and X-ray diffractometry. The results show that the grains size of both the alloys apparently remained unchanged after T4 treatment. T4 treatment at 340°C for 6?h slightly increased the strength and elongation of Mg–1.5Zn alloy while it significantly improved the strength and elongation of the Mg–9Zn alloy because of the presence of residual Mg51Zn20 and Mg12Zn13 secondary phase at the grain boundary. The results of electrochemical tests show that the corrosion rate of both the alloys decrease with increasing treatment temperature. The result also shows corrosion resistance of both the T4 tread alloys much better than that of as-cast samples. The corrosion mechanism exhibited that the occurrence of galvanic and pitting corrosion, which varied with the alloy composition and treatment time.
