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 …

There is increasing interest in the development of bone repair materials for biomedical
applications. Magnesium (Mg)-based alloys have a natural ability to biodegrade because …

Zn, a promising biodegradable material, possesses excellent biocompatibility and
biodegradability, however its low strength and hardness largely limit its application in …

The bio-corrosion behaviour of Mg–3Zn–0.3 Ca (wt.%) alloy in simulated body fluid (SBF) at
37° C has been investigated using immersion testing and electrochemical measurements …

Magnesium alloys have superior mechanical property for industry applications as structural
materials, but their poor corrosion resistance is still a bottleneck problem. Mg-Al-Zn alloys …

Abstract Mg-Zn-Zr (ZK60) magnesium alloy samples were prepared by selective laser
melting (SLM). The processability of ZK60 prepared by SLM was thoroughly investigated via …

Mg-Zn alloys form the basis of a wide variety of commercial light-weight Mg alloys due to
their precipitation hardenability, biocompatibility, and low cost. Despite significant progress …

Magnesium is presently attracting a lot of interest as a replacement to clinically used
orthopaedic implant materials, due to its ability to solve the stress shielding problems …

Magnesium–zinc alloy is a potential base material for biodegradable implant applications. In
this study, the influence of zinc content (0.5–3 wt.%) in as-cast magnesium–zinc binary …

The effects of zinc content (2 and 4 wt%), heat treatment (solution-treated and T6), as well as
hot deformation (extrusion and multi-directional forging (MDF)) on the microstructure …
