Friction stir extrusion of ultra-thin wall biodegradable magnesium alloy tubes — Microstructure and corrosion response by Vasanth C. Shunmugasamy (10474766)

“…Upon exposure to Hank’s balanced salt solution at 37 ◦C, microgalvanic coupling resulting from the gradient through-the-thickness grain size and texture differences between the tube inner and outer surfaces, and residual strain arising from the FSE process, promoted a localized attack that preferentially initiated on the outer tube surface and progressed inwards. Static recovery induced by a short duration heat treatment at low temperature did not alter the microstructure but promoted a more general corrosion attack with a significantly reduced corrosion rate. …”
