Abstract
Osteoclast responsive carbonate apatite (CAp) coatings with different carbonate content rates and non-bioabsorbable hydroxyapatite (HAp) coating were formed on Mg-4mass% Y-3mass% rare earth (WE43) alloy. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurement in a cell culture medium was performed for 6 h and 10 weeks, and the corrosion morphology was observed using a scanning electron microscope. Coating layer resistance of the CAp-coated specimens for 6 h was 104 Ωcm2 which was higher than 2 × 103 Ωcm2 of the HAp-coated specimen. Mean polarization resistance for the initial 4 weeks for the former was 4 × 104–7.5 × 104 Ωcm2 which was higher than 2 × 104 Ωcm2 of the latter.
