TY - JOUR A1 - Bender, S. A1 - Goellner, J. A1 - Heyn, Andreas A1 - Schmigalla, S. T1 - A new theory for the negative difference effect in magnesium corrosion N2 - An unusual feature known as the negative difference effect (NDE) can be observed in magnesium when recording corrosion current density–potential curves. More hydrogen is evolved at a more positive potential which does not occur in conventional metals. Several models have been proposed in the literature in order to explain the phenomenon of NDE. They succeed in explaining some effects, and fail to deal with others. A new model, which explains the NDE by two electron consuming processes, is presented in this paper. By potentiostatic investigations of magnesium in a chloride electrolyte, measurements of hydrogen evolution and chemical analysis of the electrolyte the new model was experimentally verified.

T1 - Corrosion and surface finishing of magnesium and its alloys N2 - While the possibilities of improving corrosion resistance (especially galvanic corrosion) by alloying are limited, surface finishing of magnesium alloys is the alternative for improving corrosion resistance. Due to the low corrosion potential of Mg and the danger of galvanic corrosion in the case of a coating defect, the choice of coatings is limited. This chapter will summarize the corrosion behavior of magnesium alloys and the metallurgical possibilities to improve the corrosion resistance of the alloys and reviewing critically the most commonly used surface treatments and coatings for magnesium.

A1 - Heyn, Andreas T1 - Evaluation and Screening of the pre-treatment states of Mg-alloys using Electrochemical Noise N2 - A successful application of magnesium alloys as light structural materials and for special applications, such as in the medical sector, depends significantly on their corrosion properties. Since the use of well-chosen surface coating systems can optimize these properties, many efforts are going in this direction. In general, any coating process must be seen in a close connection to the pre-treatment of the alloy surface, particularly for magnesium alloys. The pre-treatment is required to prepare the optimal surface for a coating system, in which adhesion and dissolution behaviour are the central properties. In the case of magnesium alloys this means a well-controlled removal of the casting or rolling skin, which would be prone to corrosion and poor adhesion. Additionally, in most cases the surface morphology should be smooth. An investigation of different pickling solutions and pickling parameters showed a wide range of effectiveness (i.e., the resulting mass loss and surface morphology). Another important and often underestimated fact is the comparatively strong tendency of magnesium to react with the atmosphere. For that reason, after a completed pickling and cleaning treatment the condition of the surrounding atmosphere and the time prior to coating of the surface should be taken into account because of the formation of different reaction layers. These layers have an effect on adhesion and the corrosion properties of the coating system as a whole. For a documentation of the influence of different atmospheres and the timedependence of the surface activity the measurement of the electrochemical noise is the preferred technique. This is because it shows instantaneously the actual activity, even in the absence of external excitation. The influence of different pre-treatments as well as exposure conditions and duration was investigated using electrochemical noise measurements as a screening method. As a result the pretreatment which is an important part of the coating process could be considerably improved.

A1 - Holzhausen, U. A1 - Heyn, Andreas T1 - Investigations of the aqueous corrosion of pretreated magnesium alloys by means of electrochemical noise measurements N2 - An important possibility to improve the corrosion behaviour of magnesium alloys is the application of protective coatings. The quality of such coatings depends mainly on the pretreatment and the exposure conditions after pretreatment. Since magnesium surfaces change much faster under atmospheric conditions than those of almost any other technical material, it is necessary to pay special attention to this particular feature. The activity of acid-pickled surfaces of the magnesium alloys AZ31 and AZ91 in dependence on the exposure time and the humidity conditions was investigated with electrochemical noise (EN) measurements. In addition to pickling, plasma chemical vapour deposition processes open new possibilities for an economical, as well as ecologically quite safe, pretreatment. The results of EN investigations after acid pickling as well as specific plasma oxidation treatments of the two magnesium alloys after exposure to air with different humidities are presented.

T1 - Korrosion and Biokompatibilität beschichteter MgCa1,0 Magnesiumlegierungen N2 - Die Magnesiumlegierung Mg-Cal besitzt als potentielles bioabsorbierbares Implantatmaterial die Möglichkeit, vollständig vom menschlichen Körper absorbiert zu werden. Die mechanischen Kennwerte dieser Legierung liegen im Bereich des menschlichen Knochens und beide Legierungselemente (Mg, Ca) sind essentielle Spurenelemente im menschlichen Organismus. Der limitierende Faktor für den Einsatz ist die hohe Degradationsrate dieser Legierung. Um die Degradationsgeschwindigkeit zu verringern, wurden zwei Beschichtungssysteme auf Grundlage der Plasmachemischen Oxidation (PCO) und organischer Beschichtung erzeugt und untersucht. Das Korrosionsverhalten dieser Schichtsysteme wurde dabei mit dem Elektrochemischen Rauschen analysiert. Zusätzlich wurde der Einfluss von Wasserstoffentwicklung und eines ansteigenden pHWert auf die Zelltoxizität untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine Kombination von beiden Schichtsystemen zu einem viel versprechenden Degradationsverhalten führt. T2 - 14.

T1 - In vitro corrosion and biocompatibility of coated MgCa1.0 magnesium alloys N2 - As bio-absorbable implant material the magnesium alloy Mg-1Ca is able to degrade in-vivo. The mechanical properties of this alloy are similar to those of human bone; both Mg and Ca are essential elements in human body. The main problem is the high corrosion rate of this alloy. Two coating systems based on plasma-chemical oxidation and an organic dip coating are applied onto MgCa1.0 magnesium alloy in order to slow down the corrosion rate. The corrosion behaviour of the coated alloys was investigated with electrochemical noise measurements. The influence of hydrogen evolution and increasing pH-value on the cytotoxicity was examined. The results of these investigations suggest that a combination of both coating systems leads to promising degradation properties.

T1 - Investigation of biodegradation behaviour of an Mg-1Ca alloy influenced by heat treatment and applying plasma-chemical oxidation layers N2 - The degradation behaviour of an Mg-1Ca alloy is investigated in vitro to figure out the possibilities of influencing the degradation behaviour of such an alloy by applying heat treatment as well as the use of a coating system based on plasma-chemical oxidation. It is shown that an optimised solution annealing (T4-heat treatment) can reduce the degradation rate while an additional ageing between 240 and 300 °C (T6-heat treatment) increases it. A coating generated by plasma-chemical oxidation reduces the degradation rate in the immersion test. Its effect is depending on the former heat treatment of the Mg-1Ca alloy as well as on the parameter during plasma-chemical oxidation.
