Chub) Department of Physics and Materials Science, City University of Hong Kong, Kowloon, Hong Kong, People’s Republic of China (Received 13 February 2007; accepted 29 March 2007) Fast degradation rates in the physiological environment constitute the main limitation for magnesium alloys used in biodegradable hard tissue implants. In this work, the corrosion behavior of AZ91 magnesium alloy in simulated body fluids (SBF) was systematically investigated to determine its performance in a physiological environment. The influence of the main constituent phases on the corrosion behavior was studied by in situ visual observation and scanning electron microscopy. Energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry an
