Recent research is summarised with an emphasis on the use of Mg alloys for biodegradable
medical applications. Mg melt purification using Zr has been shown to provide the …

Magnesium (Mg) is the most reactive engineering material and corrosion protection
continues to be an issue of great importance.[1–4] This note builds on prior reviews [1–8] …

Accurate prediction of Mg corrosion rates within the body (in vivo) based on laboratory tests
(in vitro) is a key challenge for Mg alloys in medical applications. Estimates based on in vitro …

Much of our understanding of the Mg corrosion mechanism is based on research using
aggressive chloride based solutions like 3% NaCl, which are appropriate for understand the …

This review summarizes recent insights into the Mg corrosion mechanism, clarifies many
critical controversial points regarding the Mg corrosion behaviour, and updates some efforts …

Based on an analysis of galvanic corrosion research, the research reported herein was
formulated to examine the measurement of polarisation curves for Mg to develop a …

Several mechanisms have been proposed to interpret the widely reported phenomenon of
Mg corrosion that the hydrogen evolution rate increases with increasing anodic potential or …

Magnesium (Mg) has a long history of investigation as a degradable biomaterial. Physicians
first began using Mg for biomedical applications in the late 19th century. Experimentation …

This paper provides a review of recent developments in the field of Mg corrosion and puts
those into context. This includes considerations of corrosion manifestations, material …

There remains growing interest in magnesium (Mg) and its alloys, as they are the lightest
structural metallic materials. Mg alloys have the potential to enable design of lighter …
