Microstructure and performance of biodegradable magnesium alloy tubes fabricated by local-heating-assisted dieless drawing

Magnesium (Mg) alloy stents are expected to be the next generation of stents because of good biocompatibility and biodegradability. Compared with cold drawing, dieless drawing with local heating is an effective method for manufacturing the Mg alloy microtubes since a large reduction in area can be a...
