TL;DR: The newly developed Fe-Mn-Pd alloys reveal a degradation resistance that is one order of magnitude lower than observed for pure iron, and the mechanical performance is shown to be adjustable not only by the choice of alloying elements but also by heat treatment procedures.

TL;DR: The new Mg-Y-Zn alloys show an interesting combination of preferred microstructural, mechanical, electrochemical and biological properties, which make them very promising for degradable implant applications.

TL;DR: The degradation performance of three Fe-based materials in a growing rat skeleton over a period of 1 year shows signs of degradation; however, the degradation proceeded rather slowly and no significant differences between the materials were detected.

TL;DR: The differing degradation performances of the annealed-polished and the oxidized samples are related to the different surface conditions and explained on the basis of a depletion hypothesis.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of laser power, scanning speed, and laser path on the microstructure of NiTi cylinders was studied, where the laser power was varied from 56 to 100 W and the scanning speed from about 100 to 300 mm/s.
