This review focusses on the application of physiological conditions for the mechanistic
understanding of magnesium degradation. Despite the undisputed relevance of simplified …

Biodegradable metals, such as Mg and Mg alloys, Fe and Fe alloys, and Zn and Zn alloys,
are drawing increased attention as bone implant materials owing to their biodegradability …

During the last years, the scientific and industrial community has focused on the astonishing
properties of Fe–Mn–Al–C steels. These high advanced steels allow high-density reductions …

The development of biodegradable Fe-based bone implants has rapidly progressed in
recent years. Most of the challenges encountered in developing such implants have been …

Advanced additive manufacturing techniques have been recently used to tackle the two
fundamental challenges of biodegradable Fe-based bone-substituting materials, namely low …

Iron, while attracting less attention than magnesium and zinc, is still one of the best
candidates for biodegradable metal stents thanks its biocompatibility, great elastic moduli …

Fe-based materials have received more and more interests in recent years as candidates to
fabricate bioresorbable stents due to their appropriate mechanical properties and …

Additively manufactured biodegradable porous iron has been only very recently
demonstrated. Two major limitations of such a biomaterial are very low biodegradability and …

The movement towards the commercialization of biodegradable Fe has been hampered by
the perceived slow degradation rate of the metal in physiological environments. The …

To improve the corrosion rate and suppress the local corrosion, a novel biodegradable high
nitrogen (N) FeMnN alloy was developed, and the effects of N content on the corrosion …
