Abstract

In tribo-corrosion systems, the failure occurs due to the combined effect of micro-abrasion and corrosion mechanisms. Magnesium and its alloys as biodegradable materials are being used as temporary implants for bio medical application. Objective of this study is to examine the tribo-corrosion behavior of Mg-2 vol% SiO2 hollow nanospheres in artificial saliva solution (ASS) for different applied voltage ranging from − 500 to 500 mV and applied loads ranging from 10 to 50 N. Wear rate and corrosion rate are recorded from the experiments separately using the tribo-corrosion setup. The tribo-corrosion maps were plotted in voltage-load space to study the wastage maps, mechanisms involved and the synergic effect of abrasion and corrosion in ASS under simulated body conditions. The mechanisms of failure during simulated tests are studied using scanning electron microscopy. The study will be useful in understanding the degradation rate of the pure Mg-2 vol% SiO2 nano syntactic biodegradable foam.
