Study of the degradation behavior and the biocompatibility of Mg–0.8Ca alloy for orthopedic implant applications

Mg–Ca alloys have recently attracted great attention towards the research in the field of orthopedic biodegradable implants. This study presents an in vitro degradation assessment of Mg–0.8Ca (0.8 wt. % of Ca) alloy in Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS). Immersion, hydrogen evolution and elec...
