Tailoring biomineralization and biodegradation of Mg–Ca alloy by acetic acid pickling

Magnesium and its alloys are suitable candidates for developing biodegradable metallic implants. However, the rapid degradation of these alloys in the physiological environment is a major limitation for such applications. In this work, Mg–Ca alloy was chemically treated with acetic acid and its effe...
