Microstructural, Mechanical, and Electrochemical Characterization of Calcium-Modified Mg-Zn Biodegradable Alloys

Magnesium has been of interest to researchers as a potential biodegradable alternative to metal orthopedic implants due to its biocompatibility and mechanical properties that are similar to those of bone. However, magnesium implants corrode more quickly than would be beneficial. This study focused on the influence of c...
