Corrosion modeling of magnesium-based medical implants
Biodegradable metals have been under significant research as alternatives to the nonbiodegradable materials in the field of medical implants. In this scope, magnesium and its alloys were widely investigated due to their superior biocompatibility. However, magnesium is a highly active metal and has …

Fabrication and corrosion assessment of biodegradable metallic alloys for patient-specific bone implant applications
Biodegradable metals and alloys are materials that are intended to remain in the body long enough for healing to occur, and then degrade or dissolve after their service lifetime. Permanent implants are often much stiffer than the bone they are supporting, which can lead to loss of bone density, …
