The successful applications of magnesium-based alloys as biodegradable orthopedic
implants are mainly inhibited due to their high degradation rates in physiological …

Magnesium and magnesium-zinc-calcium based alloys are so attractive as a biodegradable
implant materials. The corrosion behavior of pure Mg (≥ 99.99% wt.) and three Mg based …

Mg-based materials are especially attractive as biodegradable implants, although they
degrade so fast in physiological media that corrosion protection is needed. In this work …

Mg–Ca alloys have recently attracted great attention towards the research in the field of
orthopedic biodegradable implants. This study presents an in vitro degradation assessment …

Magnesium alloys as bioresorbable materials with good biocompatibility have raised a
growing interest in the past years in temporary implant manufacturing, as they offer a steady …

A silane-based biodegradable coating was developed and investigated to improve
corrosion resistance of an Mg-6Zn-Ca magnesium alloy to delay the biodegradation of the …

Magnesium is potentially useful for orthopaedic and cardiovascular applications. However,
the corrosion rate of this metal is so high that its degradation occurs before the end of the …

This review discusses the current state and challenges in understanding Mg alloy corrosion
behavior, in view of use of these materials for biodegradable implants. After the description …

Mg alloys are very susceptible to corrosion in physiological media. This behaviour limits its
widespread use in biomedical applications as bioresorbable implants, but it can be …

The last decade has seen a significant growth in the market for alloys used for implants,
especially for those intended for orthopedic implants. Research into biodegradable …
