Abstract
This study reports on the effect of the addition of Glycine to Hank's solution on the in-vitro corrosion behavior of AZ31 magnesium (Mg) alloy at 37 ℃ and a pH of 7.4 studied by using potentiodynamic polarization (PDP),hydrogen collecting techniques and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in combination with surface characterization techniques such as optical microscopy (OM),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS),X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis (XPS).The results reveal that adsorption of glycine initially subdues the dissolution ofAZ31 Mg alloy while in long run it enhances the dissolution of the alloy due to the commencement of the chelation effect ofglycine with Ca2+ released from hydroxyapatite.The chelation ofglycine with Ca2+induces the formation of cracks in the surface film which further promotes the dissolution ofAZ31 Mg alloy thereby forming a porous corrosion products layer on the surface of the alloy.As a result,both the continuous dissolution of AZ31 magnesium alloy and the hydrogen evolution rate (HER) are enhanced with increasing the immersion time in Hank's solution.
