- Abstract
Magnesium and its alloys have long been used in orthopaedic implants due to their biocompatibility properties. In the last decades, due to the development of materials science and technology, interest in magnesium and magnesium alloys increased. Choosing the essential elements as alloying elements to optimize composition design for new biodegradable Mg alloys with good biocompatibility seems to be the most effective method of eliminating some fundamental problems. The selection of alloying elements in biodegradable Mg alloys should be based not only on the improvement of mechanical properties, but also on the consideration of biocompatibility. The addition of alloying elements can improve the strength of Mg by means of a grain-refining mechanism and solid solution strengthening. This paper presents the results of the actual experimental research on the mechanical properties of some biocompatible magnesium-based alloys.
