Surface Modification of Mg-Y alloy by Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation Method for Biomedical Application

Due to having mechanical properties close to natural bone and being biodegradable, magnesium alloy has become a great choice for temporary implants, but the surface of the implants can be adjusted. In this research, plasma electrolytic oxidation coating was designed with hydroxyapatite nanoparticles on an alloy of magnesium and yttrium and compared with the bare sample. The surface of the coatings was checked by scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction analysis was taken from the samples. Also, the investigation of the wettability property showed that the contact angle decreased by ۳۹% with the application of the coating.
