The role of bismuth on the microstructure and corrosion behavior of ternary Mg-1.2Ca-xBi alloys for biomedical applications

In this study the influence of various Bi additions on the microstructure and corrosion behavior of the Mg-1.2Ca-xBi alloys (x = 0.5, 1.5, 3, 5, 12 wt.%) were evaluated by using optical and scanning electron microscopy, immersion and electrochemical tests. Microstructural observations showed that th...
