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 …

Recently, the topic of bioresorbable metals, with much focus on magnesium for bone implant
applications, has been an area of considerable investigation. Indeed, it could be argued that …

Mg alloys are emerging as potential and very promising alternatives for replacing permanent
metallic implant materials such as steels and titanium in applications where the implants …

The most common complication of orthopedic surgery is implant failure, which can result in
catastrophic injury and a significant financial burden for patients. Implant failure can be …

Magnesium alloys have achieved a good balance between biocompatibility and mechanical
properties, and have great potential for clinical application, and their performance as implant …

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 …

The corrosion rate of Mg indicates a strong crystallographic dependence in chloride-
containing, alkaline environments that correlates inversely with oxide film thickness. In …

Ultra-fine grained ZK60 Mg alloy was obtained by multi-pass equal-channel angular
pressing at different temperatures of 250° C, 200° C and 150° C. Microstructural …

Pitting corrosion of magnesium (Mg) alloys is greatly associated with their microstructure,
especially second phases. The second phases in traditional Mg alloys such as AZ91 are …

Magnesium alloys are of significant importance for lightweight manufacturing and weight-
saving applications due to their high weight-to-strength ratio and good mechanical …
