Effects of friction stir processing and nano-hydroxyapatite on the microstructure, hardness, degradation rate and in-vitro bioactivity of WE43 alloy for biomedical applications

Nowadays, magnesium alloys are emerging in biomedical implants for their similar properties to natural bones. However, the rapid degradation of magnesium alloys in biological media hinders successful implantation. Refinement of microstructure, as well as reinforcement particles can significantly imp...
