This book provides a comprehensive review of the biomedical applications of biodegradable magnesium and its alloys. It discusses the basic concepts of biodegradation mechanisms as well as the strategy to control biodegradation mode and rate, microstructure, mechanical properties, corrosion resistance to body fluid, and in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility. Challenges of transitioning biodegradable magnesium alloys from raw materials to semi-products to final medical devices are covered, along with main findings of worldwide experimental studies. An ideal reference book for researchers in the area of biodegradable metals, it presents the state of the art of magnesium alloys designed for biomedical applications.
