Mechanical and Corrosion Properties of Mg-Based Alloys with Gd Addition

Mechanical and Corrosion Properties of Mg-Based Alloys with Gd Addition

Magnesium alloys with rare earth metals are very attractive materials for medical application because of satisfactory mechanical properties. Nevertheless, low corrosion resistance is an obstacle in the use of Mg alloys as resorbable orthopedic implants. The paper presents results of mechanical and c...
