Effects of trace Ca/Sn addition on corrosion behaviors of biodegradable Mg–4Zn–0.2Mn alloy

The effects of alloying elements of Ca/Sn on corrosion behaviors of the as-cast Mg–4Zn–0.2Mn alloy were investigated by immersion tests and electrochemical methods. The results indicated that the average corrosion rate value of the Mg–4Zn–0.2Mn–Ca alloy was ∼ 0.31 mm/year in Hank's physiologica...
