Corrosion Measurement and Hardness Test of Magnesium-Tri Calcium Phosphate Composite Fabricated by Stir Casting
Abstract: Magnesium MMC is preferred in applications requiring high-quality materials and has replaced monolithic materials. Bio-implants traditionally used are titanium, steel, and nickel-titanium alloys, however, their removal necessitates surgery, which is costly and painful. While biodegradable 3D-printed implants are effective and eliminate the need for a second surgery, they remain expensive. After several studies to solve this issue, the development of biodegradable implants is considered. Magnesium possesses good biodegradable properties. An …
