Abstract

The current use of AZ31 in biomedical implants continues to be developed. The effect of SBF (Simulated Body Fluid) solution in AZ31 corrosion tests has not been widely used on AZ31 material which has been subjected to heat treatment, immersion test and weight loss as a reference for observing the effect of SBF on AZ31 material. Pitting corrosion can be clearly seen on the AZ31 surface. The corrosion rate can be minimized at 250°C treatment, held for 2 hours at 2.263 mm / y. Treatment 200°C was held for 1 hour and had the smallest weight loss of 0.1216 gr.
