Abstract

Anodization of die-casted AZ91D magnesium alloy was carried out using silicate based electrolyte solution instead of fluoride based solution to improve biocompatibility of oxidized layers. The anodic layer obtained from silicate based solution has smaller size of pore and smoother surface, resulting in lower corrosion rate in simulate body solution (SBF). Effect of enhanced structural and chemical properties in oxidized layer on biocompatibility was carefully considered.
