Magnesium alloys have shown great potential for applications as both structural and
biomedical materials due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and good biodegradability …

As one of the most promising fixators developed for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
reconstruction, biodegradable magnesium (Mg)-based interference screws have gained …

The effect of Zn concentration on the corrosion behavior of Mg–xZn alloys is investigated.
The microstructure is observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The corrosion …

Corrosion of binary Mg–X alloys (as-cast and solution heat-treated) was characterised by
immersion tests in 3.5% NaCl solution saturated with Mg (OH) 2, and by salt spray. Alloys …

The MgxZny second phases in Mg–5Zn alloy were adjusted by T4 and T6 treatment, and
then the role of second phases in the corrosion behavior of Mg–5Zn alloy was investigated …

This book provides a comprehensive review of the biomedical applications of biodegradable
magnesium and its alloys. It discusses the basic concepts of biodegradation mechanisms as …

Enhancing the strength of Mg-based biodegradable alloys without decreasing their
corrosion resistance is a major engineering challenge. In addition, the growing demand for …

In the present work, seven Mg-Zn-Ag alloys with the nominal composition of Mg 96-x Zn x Ag
4 (x= 17, 20, 23, 26, 29, 32, 35 in at.%) were prepared by induction melting and single-roller …

The effects of micro-addition (0.2 wt.%) of Ca, Sr, Ag, In and Cu on the microstructure and
corrosion properties of the as-cast Mg-0.5 Zn alloy were systematically studied. It is found …

Biomedical magnesium alloys have become an ideal material for degradable implants
because of their similar density and elastic modulus with human bone. In this study, Mg-3Zn …
