Microstructure and Corrosion Behaviour of Mg-Ca and Mg-Zn-Ag Alloys for Biodegradable Hard Tissue Implants

Microstructure and Corrosion Behaviour of Mg-Ca and Mg-Zn-Ag Alloys for Biodegradable Hard Tissue Implants

Trauma orthopaedic surgery was the first domain to use degradable metallic implants made of magnesium alloys since the early 20th century. Unfortunately, the major limitation that consists of rapid degradation and subsequent implant failure, which occur in physiological environments with a pH betwee...
