Abstract: The hydroxyapatite (HA) coating was prepared on the surface of Mg-3Zn-0.5Sr alloy by bionic method. The morphology and structure of the coating were characterized by SEM, EDS and XRD. Electrochemical and immersion corrosion experiments were carried out to study the degradation of the alloy and cytotoxicity experiments were also subjected to the HA-coated and uncoated Mg alloy samples. The results show that a dense HA layer with the thickness of 30~40μm can be deposited on the surface of the Mg-3Zn-0.5Sr alloy, which can effectively reduce the degradation rate of this alloy. Relative viability of cells is more than 100% and all samples have cytotoxicity scores of 0, after the cells are cultured in the extracts with the volume fraction of 25% for 4 days.

Key words: Mg-3Zn-0.5Sr alloy, hydro xyapatite, coating, corrosion resistance, cytotoxicity
