    Development and properties evaluation of Mg-6% Zn/Al multilayered composites processed by accumulative roll bonding
    (Cambridge University Press, 2017) Anne, G.; Ramesh, M.R.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.; Arya, S.B.; Sahu, S.
    Accumulative roll bonding (ARB) process was used to develop Mg-6% Zn/Al and Mg-6% Zn/anodized-Al multilayered composites. Microstructural characterization was done using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, electron backscattered diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. An average grain size measured in the roll-bonded layers of Al, anodized Al, and Mg-2% Zn was found to be 1.8 ?m, 1.6 ?m, and 0.6 ?m, respectively. Phases Al17Mg12, AlMg4Zn11, and Al2O3 after 5-pass of ARB were confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The Mg-6% Zn/Al and Mg-6% Zn/anodized Al composites exhibited tensile strengths ?252 MPa and ?256 MPa, respectively, after a 5-pass ARB process. Hardness of the individual layers of composite increased linearly with an increase in the number of ARB passes. Fractographs of the multilayered composite illustrated the ductile failure in Al and anodized Al layers and transgranular brittle fracture in Mg-6% Zn layers. © Materials Research Society 2017.

    Enhancing the functionality of biodegradable Mg–Zn–Mn alloys using poly(lactic) acid (PLA) coating for temporary implants
    (Springer, 2024) Kumar, P.; Anne, G.; Ramesh, M.R.; Doddamani, M.; Prabhu, A.
    Polylactic acid (PLA) was coated on biodegradable Mg–Zn–Mn alloys using a sol–gel coating technique for temporary implant applications. The presence of smooth, dense, crack-free PLA coating was evidenced using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and a scanning electronic microscope (SEM) equipped with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) module. The strength of the bond between PLA and the Mg–Zn–Mn alloys was investigated as per ASTM D3359 and found to be 4B. The degradation behavior was evaluated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in a simulated body fluid (SBF) solution. The corrosion rate of the PLA–Mg–Zn–Mn sample was found to be 0.00363 mm/y, which is 73% better than the bare Mg–Zn–Mn sample (0.00493 mm/y). In addition, the results of the cytotoxicity assay indicated the cytocompatibility of the implant material on MG-63 osteoblast-like cells, confirming its safety on the bone cells. The efficacy of the use of PLA coating on the biodegradable Mg–Zn–Mn is due to the synergistic effect of both physical and chemical interactions between the PLA layer and the substrate. © American Coatings Association 2024.
