Introduction and ScopeInterest in magnesium alloys as biodegradable metals has strongly grown over the last decades
Al-free alloys, Mg–Gd [1], Mg–Zn–Ca [2], Mg–Dy–Nd [3], and Mg–Zn–Zr [5] and its corrosion morphology are the focus of papers in this Special Issue
The present Special Issue of Metals provided a comprehensive insight into the current state of research on developing magnesium alloys as biodegradable implant materials
Summary
Interest in magnesium alloys as biodegradable metals has strongly grown over the last decades. Potential applications of magnesium alloys are represented by structural material for orthopedics and temporary cardiovascular devices. These implants are absorbed by the body after completing their temporary functions, like mechanical support, scaffolding, and bonding to living tissue. Since corrosion pits cause increased stress intensity under mechanical loading and early failure of implants, special attention should be paid to a uniform corrosion morphology. The aim of this Special Issue on biodegradable magnesium is to explore and introduce new alloys to overcome the current limitations of magnesium applications
