Abstract
Magnesium is the most abundant metal. Its density level is 1.74–2.0 g/cm3, 33% lighter than aluminium and 77% lighter than steel. The microstructure and mechanical property of Magnesium (Mg) alloy were studied in this review paper. The density of Mg is averagely two-thirds of that of aluminium and one-fifth of steel. Mg alloy improves the resistance of corrosion and mechanical properties. Mg is the lightest structural metal and appears as a hexagonal lattice structure which affects the fundamental properties. Mg alloys are a mixture of Mg with other metals often aluminium, zinc, copper. In this review paper, the application and properties of Mg alloys are presented for the biomedical field.
