Abstract
In order to improve the corrosion resistance and bioactivity of magnesium alloy coated by ultrasound micro-arc oxidation (UMAO), different content of n-TiO2 was added into silicate electrolyte. Electrochemical corrosion and simulated body fluid (SBF) soaking were conducted, and the surface morphology, phase structure and composition also were analyzed. The results indicated that Ecorr and Icorr of UMAO biocoatings with n-TiO2 increased and decreased an order of magnitude with increase of n-TiO2, respectively. The corrosion resistance of coatings with adding 4.8g/L n-TiO2 into electrolyte was the best. After soaking in SBF, the samples increased loose weight firstly and then increased weight to form Mg3Ca (CO3)4, Mg10Cl (OH)18·5H2O and Na4Mg2(PO4) ·2H2O new phases and Mg, MgO, MgSiO3 were still exit, which showed that good bioactivity of the UMAO coatings with n-TiO2.
