Magnesium and its alloys, valued for their lightweight and durable characteristics, have garnered increasing attention for biomedical applications due to their exceptional biocompatibility and biodegradability. This work introduces a comparison of advanced and basic methods-laser texturing and sandblasting-on magnesium surfaces to enhance bioactivity for biomedical applications. Employing a comprehensive analysis spanning surface morphology, hardness, wettability, tribological performance, and corrosion behavior, this study elucidates the intricate relationship between varied surface treatments and magnesium's performance. Findings reveal that both laser texturing and sandblasting induce grain refinement. Notably, sandblasting, particularly with a duration of 2 s, demonstrates superior wear resistance and reduced corrosion rates compared to untreated magnesium, thereby emerging as a promising approach for enhancing magnesium bioactivity in biomedical contexts. This investigation contributes to a deeper understanding of the nuanced interactions between diverse surface treatments and their implications for magnesium implants in chloride-rich environments, offering valuable insights for prospective biomedical applications.
镁及其合金因其轻质和耐用的特性而备受重视,由于其卓越的生物相容性和生物降解性,在生物医学应用中受到越来越多的关注。这项工作介绍了在镁表面进行先进和基本方法(激光纹理化和喷砂处理)的比较,以提高生物医学应用中的生物活性。本研究通过对表面形态、硬度、润湿性、摩擦学性能和腐蚀行为的全面分析,阐明了不同表面处理与镁性能之间的复杂关系。研究结果表明,激光纹理化和喷砂处理都会导致晶粒细化。值得注意的是,喷砂处理,特别是持续时间为2秒的喷砂处理,与未处理的镁相比,具有更好的耐磨性和更低的腐蚀速率,从而成为在生物医学环境中增强镁生物活性的一种有前景的方法。这项研究有助于更深入地理解不同表面处理之间的细微相互作用及其对富含氯化物环境中镁植入物的影响,为未来的生物医学应用提供有价值的见解。
