Improving the corrosion resistance of ZEK100 magnesium alloy by combining high-pressure torsion technology with hydroxyapatite coating

Magnesium alloys have better biocompatibility and biodegradability than conventional biomedical metal materials, but the corrosion resistance is so poor that the implant loses its mechanical integrity before the damaged tissue completely recovers. In this study, the ZEK100 magnesium alloy was pre-de...
