The Current Status of Research on the Effects of Different Alloying Elements on Medical Magnesium Alloys
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Magnesium (Mg) alloys with their natural biodegradability, excellent biocompatibility, and favorable mechanical properties, have become highly valuable materials for research in the biomedical field. However, the rapid degradation rate of Mg alloys limits their further development and application. This paper reviews the general principles of Mg and its alloy degradation in physiological environments, with a focus on the current research on the selection of alloying elements for magnesium alloys from a safety perspective.
