Effect of trace copper on the microstructure, corrosion behavior and biological properties of biodegradable Mg–2Zn-1Gd-0.5Zr alloy
The biodegradable Mg–2Zn-1Gd-0.5Zr-xCu (x = 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 wt.%) alloys are prepared to evaluate their microstructures, corrosion behavior, biocompatibility and antimicrobial properties. When the Cu element adds to the alloys, the new MgZnCu phase generates in the alloys in addition to the MgZn2 p...
