In recent years considerable attention has been attracted to magnesium because of its light
weight, high specific strength, and ease of recycling. Because of the growing demand for …

Metallic alloys have been introduced as biodegradable metals for various biomedical
applications over the last decade owing to their gradual corrosion in the body …

Squeeze casting of biodegradable Mg-4Zn-0.5 Ca-xMn (x= 0, 0.4 or 0.8 all in weight%)
alloys is a process intended to improve mechanical properties (ie, strength and ductility) …

This investigation aims at providing deeper understanding of the interactive influence of the
alloying elements calcium and zinc on biodegradable magnesium. Through the low …

Grain refinement and enhanced mechanical properties of Mg–2Zn-xCa alloys (with a wide
range of calcium contents from 0 to 5 wt%) were studied in both as-cast and extruded …

To develop an aluminum alloy that combines excellent mechanical properties with good
castability for near-net-shape casting of automotive structural parts, new Cu–free medium …

Magnesium (Mg) alloys have become a potential material for orthopedic implants due to
their unnecessary implant removal, biocompatibility, and mechanical integrity until fracture …

Abstract The Mg-6 mass% Zn alloys microalloyed with different amounts of Ca were cast and
extruded. The second phase in the as-cast Mg-6Zn alloy is Mg 4 Zn 7, which is replaced by …

In this work, the effect of Gd on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of Mg–
4Zn–0.6 Ca–xGd (x= 0, 0.3, 0.6 and 1, wt%) alloys were investigated systematically. The …

Together with the enhancement of the load-bearing implant process for bone substitution
and reproduction, an increasing requirement was observed concerning biodegradable …
