Degradation of AZ31 and AZ91 magnesium alloys in different physiological media: Effect of surface layer stability on electrochemical behaviour

This work deals with the degradation of AZ31 and AZ91 magnesium alloys when they are exposed to three types of physiological media for seven days at 37 °C: Ringer's, Hanks', and simulated body fluid (SBF) solutions. A combination of immersions tests and surface characterisation methods wer...
