Microstructure, Mechanical Properties, Degradation Behavior, and Implant Testing of Hot-Rolled Biodegradable ZKX500 Magnesium Alloy

Currently, orthopedic metallic implants are mostly made of stainless steel and titanium alloys. After healing, patients are usually required to undergo a secondary surgery for implant removal, which not only poses a medical risk but also costs medical resources. Magnesium-based biodegradable implant...
