Abstract
This research paper reviews the importance of Magnesium and its alloys to be specifically used as a biomaterial in human body. Magnesium and its alloy are preferable to other metallic non-biodegradable implants such as titanium stainless steel, etc. because of better bio degradability, leading to no further surgery and its associated cost. Magnesium and its alloys show poor corrosion resistance in human body fluid (HBF) due to which it dissolves/corrodes rapidly in HBF solution. The corrosion/dissolution of Magnesium in HBF has the advantage in terms of no post-surgery after implantation but uncontrolled degradation needs various manipulation in processing of materials, controlled process condition in conventional manufacturing techniques and subsequently use of unconventional manufacturing techniques to avoid constraint of core manufacturing processes. The various corrosion mechanisms has been reviewed and discussed. Magnesium and its alloys have been used in various applications such as aircraft, automotive, armaments, electronic, textile, and sports, medical and building industries.
