Biodegradable metals (BMs) gradually degrade in vivo by releasing corrosion products once
exposed to the physiological environment in the body. Complete dissolution of …

Magnesium (Mg) alloys have several advantages, such as low density, high specific strength
and biocompatibility. However, they also suffer weak points, such as high corrosion, low …

In biomedical applications, the conventionally used metallic materials, including stainless
steel, Co-based alloys and Ti alloys, often times exhibit unsatisfactory results such as stress …

Selective laser melting (SLM), as a rapid prototyping technology, has been widely used to
manufacture high-performance metal components with complex structures, which vitally …

The combination of high strength, light weight, and natural biodegradability renders
magnesium (Mg)-based alloys promising in orthopedic implants and cardiovascular stents …

Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have been suggested as revolutionary biodegradable
materials. However, fast degradation hinders its clinic application. To improve the corrosion …

Abstract Effect of extrusion on the microstructures and corrosion properties of Mg-2Ca-χAl
(χ= 0, 2, 3, 5 wt.%) alloys were investigated in present work. Results showed that the …

In this work, binary Zn-0.5 Al and ternary Zn-0.5 Al-x Mg alloys with various Mg contents
were investigated as biodegradable materials for implant applications. Compared with Zn …

In the present study, a new biodegradable Mg-Zn-Cu magnesium alloy was introduced for
biological applications. The microstructural analysis showed the formation of MgZnCu …
