Abstract
Magnesium alloy micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings are limited in biomedical applications due to their poor corrosion resistance. High-intensity pulsed ion beam (HIPIB) treatment enhances corrosion resistance as well as biocompatibility, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. In this study, CCK-8 assays, flow cytometry, and ALP activity tests were employed to investigate the bioactivity of the MAO coatings, and the surface properties of the coatings were characterized by SEM observation. Compared with pristine coating, the porosity of the MAO coating decreased by 9.44%, calcium content increased by 0.23%, and surface roughness and hydrophobicity increased to 7.57 and 102.11, respectively, with HIPIB irradiation. CCK-8 assays showed that the HIPIB-modified coating significantly improved cell proliferation, with a growth rate increase to 61.29% on Day 3. Flow cytometry analysis revealed accelerated cell cycle progression, especially a faster transition from the G1 to S and G2 phases, indicative of enhanced proliferation. Increased ALP activity further indicated that the irradiated coatings promoted osteogenic differentiation. The formed remelted dense layer with an increase in Ca content and high roughness induced by HIPIB irradiation not only acts as a corrosion barrier but also promotes the adhesion and differentiation of osteoblasts, which is mainly responsible for the enhancement of biological properties.

期刊介绍:
Coatings is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal of coatings and surface engineering. It publishes reviews, research articles, communications and technical notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Full experimental and/or methodical details must be provided. There are, in addition, unique features of this journal:
* manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed
* electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure - if unable to be published in a normal way - can be deposited as supplementary material
