Mg/HA (10 wt.%, 20 wt.% and 30 wt.%) composites were prepared by pure magnesium and hydroxyapatite (HA) powders using powder metallurgy (PM) method. The microstructure, mechanical property, corrosion and cytotoxicity of these Mg/HA composites were studied, with the bulk pure magnesium as control. The results showed that the main constitutional phases of Mg/HA composites were simply alpha-Mg and HA. The HA particulates distributed uniformly in Mg matrix for Mg/10HA composite, and few HA clustering occasionally spread over the Mg/20HA composite, whereas severe agglomeration of HA particulates could be seen for Mg/30HA composite. The yield tensile strength of Mg/10HA composite increased compared with that of the as-extruded bulk pure magnesium, yet the yield tensile strength, ultimate tensile strength and ductility of Mg/HA composites decreased with the further increase of HA content. The corrosion rate of Mg/HA composites increased with the increment of HA content. The cytotoxicity tests indicated that Mg/10HA extract showed no toxicity to L-929 cells, whereas Mg/20HA and Mg/30HA composite extracts induced significantly reduced cell viability.
