Zinc (Zn)-based alloys have been investigated as one kind of promising degradable metallic
biomaterials. Nevertheless, the mechanical and corrosion properties of Zn alloys still need to …

Zn is a promising biodegradable metal owing to its moderate degradation rate and
acceptable biocompatibility. However, the insufficient mechanical strength and plasticity of …

Zinc (Zn) and its alloys are considered as promising biodegradable metals due to its suitable
degradability and important physiological functions. However, in the process of degradation …

A Zn-based coating with excellent corrosion resistance was prepared on the surface of AZ31
magnesium alloy by novel hot-dip process. The microstructure, growth process and …

In this study, the addition of Sn on the microstructure of Zn 1.6 wt.% Al 1.6 wt.% Mg alloy was
studied. Currently, the addition of Sn into Zn-Al-Mg based systems has not been investigated …
