Shielding AZ91D-1%Ca from corrosion through ultrasound melt treatment: A study for stent design

Magnesium-based materials show great potential for producing biodegradable stents, but their high corrosion rates are a roadblock.This study investigates whether ultrasound melt treatment can change the corrosion response of an extruded AZ91D-1.0%Ca (wt.%) in Earle's Balanced Salt Solution by t...
