Microstructure, in vitro corrosion behavior and cytotoxicity of biodegradable Mg-Ca-Zn and Mg-Ca-Zn-Bi alloys

The effects of bismuth (Bi) addition on the microstructure and corrosion behavior of the Mg-Ca-Zn-Bi alloys were evaluated using electron microscopy, electrochemical test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Microstructural observations showed that Mg-1.2Ca-1Zn-xBi (x = 0.5, 1.5, 3 wt.%) are...
