Abstract
In order to improve the corrosion resistance, bioabsorbable magnesium (Mg) alloy was immersed in an aqueous solution with three times of Ca2+ and HPO42- in comparison with those of conventional SBF at the moderate temperature. After immersion in the solution, the whole surface of Mg alloy was coated with plate-like crystals consisting of octacalcium phosphate (OCP). Then the OCP-coated Mg alloy was immersed in the alkali solution. Although significant change of morphology was not observed, the OCP formed on the Mg alloy was transformed to hydroxyapatite (HAp) under alkali condition.
