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 …

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 last decade has seen a significant growth in the market for alloys used for implants,
especially for those intended for orthopedic implants. Research into biodegradable …

In this study a binary Mg–Zn magnesium alloy was researched as a degradable biomedical
material. An Mg–Zn alloy fabricated with high-purity raw materials and using a clean melting …

Corrosion testing of bioabsorbable metallic materials is important at material selection stage
and for understanding their degradation mechanisms. A large variety of different corrosive …

Various biomedical implants for prolonged usage in the human body have been created in
recent years in a massive and steadily increasing number. Friction stir techniques are solid …

In spite of the immense potential of biodegradable magnesium alloys, the fast degradation
rates of Mg-based biomedical implants in the physiological environment impose severe …

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 …

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

This review discusses the current state and challenges in understanding Mg alloy corrosion
behavior, in view of use of these materials for biodegradable implants. After the description …
