Assessment of Galvanostatic Anodic Polarization to Accelerate the Corrosion of the Bioresorbable Magnesium Alloy WE43

In the field of surgery, bioresorbable magnesium is considered a promising candidate. Its low corrosion resistance, which is disadvantageous for technical application, is advantageous for surgery since the implant fully degrades in the presence of the water-based body fluids, and after a defined tim...
