Abstract

This paper investigates the effect of crystallographic texture on the corrosion product morphology and corrosion behavior of AZ31 magnesium alloy after immersion in simulated body fluid for 3 days. The microstructure and macrotexture analyses are performed through optical microscopy and x-ray diffraction methods, respectively. The polarization test evaluated the corrosion, and the FESEM electron microscope equipped with EDS was used to investigate the morphology of the corrosion products. According to the results, the morphology of calcium phosphate deposit as a corrosion product at the surface with basal texture was a porous cauliflower shape. In contrast, the calcium phosphate deposit at the surface of the nonbasal texture was uniform and nanoworm-like. The corrosion rate at the basal texture surface was higher than the nonbasal one, which is attributed to the difference in the morphology of calcium phosphate film.
