Microstructural Precipitation Evolution and In Vitro Degradation Behavior of a Novel Chill-Cast Zn-Based Absorbable Alloy for Medical Applications

In recent years, increasing interest has been placed in the development of Zn alloys for absorbable biomedical applications. It has been demonstrated that these alloys are potential candidates for endovascular applications. In the present work, a novel Zn-12.5Ag-1Mg alloy was investigated as a poten...
