Invited Talk Delivered at MS&T 2025 – Microstructure, Corrosion, and Aluminum Release in Mg–Al Alloys
🎤 Invited Talk Delivered at MS&T 2025, Columbus, OH
I had the honor of delivering an Invited Talk at MS&T 2025 in Columbus, Ohio, as part of the Next Generation Biomaterials Symposium, titled:
“Deciphering the Role of Microstructure in Governing Corrosion and Aluminum Release in Mg–Al Alloys.”
Talk Summary
In this talk, I discussed how processing-driven microstructural evolution influences both corrosion kinetics and systemic aluminum transport in biodegradable Mg–Al alloys.
By integrating in vitro and in vivo results, the presentation demonstrated how microstructure dictates corrosion pathways and aluminum speciation, bridging laboratory-scale insights with biological outcomes.
This framework helps design biodegradable metallic implants that balance mechanical performance, corrosion control, and biological safety.
