Controlling degradation of magnesium or its alloys in physiological saline solutions is essential for their potential applications in clinically viable implants. Rapid degradation of magnesium-based materials reduces the mechanical properties of implants prematurely and severely increases alkalinity of the local environment. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the effects o...

In this work, the technique of Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP) was used to fabricate micrometric structures at surface Cobalt-Chromium-Molybdenum and AZ91D magnesium alloys. Line-like patterns with spatial periods 5 μm were textured using an ultra-short pulsed laser (10 ps pulse duration 1064 nm wavelength) a two-beam interference setup. The topography, morphology, chemical modifica...
