Abstract

The chemical and physical processes of magnesium in simulated body fluid (SBF) were investigated. The corrosion rate of magnesium was measured after 3, 5, 7, 14 and 21 days of immersion, respectively. It was found that the corrosion rate decreased with increasing immersion time, while the pH of SBF changed inversely. Network-like cracks and pits were the main damages resulting from corrosion, and the localized buildup of chloride ions was the major cause of pit formation.
