The properties of hot extruded binary magnesium calcium alloy for use as a biodegradable material within bone by Mirshahi, Mohammad

“…The hardness test results also showed that the Vickers hardness rates will increase by increasing the Ca content in the Mg-Ca alloys which was mainly due to the grain refinement and increment of Mg2Ca volume hindering the dislocations movements; According to the corrosion potential values, in-vitro corrosion rate and pH values, it was found out that binary Mg-Ca alloys with greater Ca contents corrodes faster than alloys containing less Ca; thus, increases the pH of the SBF solution and hydrogen evoluted from cathodic reaction more than others, that is predominantly due to grain refinement and increased Mg2Ca by adding more Ca. …”
