生体吸収性マグネシウム合金では、腐食速度を任意に制御し、かつ治癒を促進する表面の開発が求められている。そこで骨形成を促進する水酸アパタイト（HAp）およびその関連化合物による表面被覆が盛んに検討されている。筆者らは、水溶液浸漬処理により HAp 等を被覆する方法を開発した。本講演では、被膜の微細構造およびリン酸カルシウム被覆マグネシウム合金の細胞培養液中やマウス皮下での腐食挙動などを紹介する。

Various methods are industrially employed in order to fabricate corrosion resistant alloys using different
cooling times, mold nature/geometry and post treatments. By using different casting methods, it is possible
to vary microstructure distribution and size along to alloying elements distribution across the surface
enhancing their corrosion resistance. Since Mg corrosion remains a very active system, the electrochemical
processes occurring in situ are of great interest when studying the corrosion mechanism. As the corrosion ofMg alloys occurs on the micron and submicron level, Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM)
represents the appropriate alternative to assess the Mg corrosion in situ.
SECM is part of the scanning probe microscopy techniques and involves the measurement of materials
fluxes in solution when a microelectrode is placed in close proximity to a substrate. To assess local corrosion
fluxes, amperometric or potentiometric modes of SECM can be used.[1] In our work, SECM is employed tomeasure the ionic concentration distributions and the various electrochemical fluxes during corrosion
reaction. Specifically, we will discuss the use of Mg2+ sensor similarly to Lamaka and co-workers.[2] andhydrogen evolution sensor during SECM studies, which when combined with numerical simulations yields
predictive insight into Mg alloy corrosion.

The effects of Sn and Zn on corrosion behavior of magnesium alloy extrusions were systematicallyevaluated in this study. The corrosion behavior of as-extruded Mg-xSn (x=2, 4, 6, 8wt.%) was dependent on
the volume fraction of Mg2Sn particle ([Mg2Sn]), area fraction of grain boundary ([GB]) and the Sn content
dissolved in the matrix phase ([Snsol]). Both [Mg2Sn] and [GB] increased the H2 evolution rate below theEcorr level. In contrast, [Snsol] lowered the H2 evolution rate. Among the three factors, it was concluded thatthe [Mg2Sn] was the determining factor for the polarization behavior of the Mg-xSn alloys. The polarization
behavior of as-extruded Mg-xZn (x=1, 2, 3, 4wt.%) was very sensitive to the change of surface film withimmersion time. It seemed that Zn increased the H2 evolution rate and promoted the protectiveness of thesurface film.

Recent research has shown that MgY and MgGd alloys produced by magnetron sputtering had corrosion
rates comparable with those of ultra-high-purity Mg, PW = 0.27 ± 0.07 mm/y in immersion tests in 3.5%
NaCl saturated with Mg(OH)2 for seven days. This is orders of magnitude better than comparable alloys
produced by ingot metallurgy in the as-cast or solution-heat-treated conditions. The magnetron sputter
deposited Mg alloys have low corrosion rates because they are homogeneous solid solutions with (i) all thealloying elements (Y or Gd) in solid solution, AND (ii) there are no deleterious second phases or Fe-richphases causing high corrosion rates by galvanic coupling. The low corrosion rates of the magnetron supper
Mg alloys indicate what is possible with the production of ultra-high-purity Mg alloys. This expectation issupported by the recent work of Uggowitzer and co-workers in Switzerland who found that the corrosion
rate of the ultra-high-purity ZX50 was PH = 0.006 mm/y in a synthetic body fluid. Our recent work indicatesthat melt purification using Zr can produce ultra-high-purity Mg alloys.

Our research has elucidated the factors that govern the flammability of Mg alloys. A Mg alloy is resistant toburning if there is sufficient alloying to produce a protective film on the surface of the molten Mg. This
provides a guiding principle for the development of Mg alloys resistant to burning. In all cases, there is noburning until there is melting of the Mg alloy. The burning alloy will continue to burn or will self extinguishdepending on the competing heat fluxes. A Mg rod which is burning at one end will self-extinguish if theheat flux along the Mg rod away from the burning end is greater than the heat flux generated by the burning
Mg. Alternatively, an isolated molten blob of Mg will typically burn until consumed.
The key aspects of the stress corrosion of Mg alloys are reviewed and our current research on SCC of Mg
alloys is summarised. Most common Mg alloys are susceptible to SCC, even high purity Mg in distilledwater. The fact that TGSCC occurs in distilled water means that there is no need for specific damaging ions(like chloride ions) to be present to cause SCC. SCC can occur at low stresses, such as half the yield stress.
Our current research is systematically examining the SCC of model binary Mg-X alloys, both in the as-castand solution-heat-treated conditions.
