Mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and biocompatibilities of degradable Mg-RE alloys: A review

Magnesium-rare earth (Mg-RE) alloys, as potential biodegradable materials, are attracting considerable attention owing to their good mechanical properties and biodegradation behavior. Indeed, some RE elements within certain amounts of addition have proved to exhibit biocompatibility. Two main strate...
