20.500.12556/DiRROS-20540 Enhancing magnesium bioactivity for biomedical applications effects of laser texturing and sandblasting on surface properties 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. biomaterial microstructure hardness friction/wear corrosion true false true MDPI Švica Angleški jezik Ni določen © 2024 by the authors Neznano 2024-10-18 07:40:39 2024-10-18 07:40:40 2024-11-12 14:33:58 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 15. 10. 2024; str. 1-16 iss. 20, [article no.] 4978 Vol. 17 Oct. 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-10-11 620.1:669.721:67.017 1996-1944 10.3390/ma17204978 211507203 RAZ_Conradi_Marjetka_2024.pdf RAZ_Conradi_Marjetka_2024.pdf 1 47E1456DF0D1649FD844392ECA1331B5 45039dd6ae0d0aabba2e0ac30b3915bb19d0cb1570c38734053ba2302a388841 7f94a170-8d14-11ef-89f3-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=28976 https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1944/17/20/4978 1 835c1713-8d13-11ef-89f3-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=28975 Inštitut za kovinske materiale in tehnologije 0 0 0
