Magnesium is one of the largely available elements in the earth's crust. It has a low structural
density with high specific strength. This unique material property has forced an increase in …

Magnesium, its alloys and composites with an approximate density of two-thirds of aluminum
and a quarter of steel are the most prominent engineering materials in various industries …

Magnesium (Mg) alloys have several advantages, such as low density, high specific strength
and biocompatibility. However, they also suffer weak points, such as high corrosion, low …

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 …

The search for biodegradable metals with mechanical properties equal or higher to those of
currently used permanent biomaterials, such as stainless steels, cobalt chromium and …

The search for a degradable metal simultaneously showing mechanical properties equal or
higher to that of stainless steel and uniform degradation is still an open challenge. Several …

Realising the potential of Magnesium (Mg), several globally leading ventures have invested
in the Mg industry, but their relatively poor corrosion resistance is a never ending saga till …

In addition to grain size, the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of magnesium
alloys depend on other factors such as texture, distribution of alloying elements, and …

Magnesium alloys are of considerable current interest for use as degradable implants due to
their unique properties including biodegradability, biocompatibility, low density and …

Zn and Zn-based alloys have been recognized as highly promising biodegradable materials
for orthopedic implants and cardiovascular stents, due to their proved biocompatibility and …
