TL;DR: Investigation in vitro of a MMC made of magnesium alloy AZ91D as a matrix and hydroxyapatite (HA) particles as reinforcements have been investigated in vitro for mechanical, corrosive and cytocompatible properties revealed that biodegradable MMC-HA are cytcompatible biomaterials with adjustable mechanical and corrosive properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the existing fundamental studies and technical developments of anodizing of magnesium alloys, and concluded that new anodising processes based on electrolytic plasma anodization that convert the surface of a magnesium alloy into a hard ceramic coating in an electrolytic bath using high energy electric discharges can offer improved wear and corrosion resistance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a foundation for the safe and effective use of magnesium (Mg) alloys, including practical guidelines for the service use of Mg alloys in the atmosphere and/or in contact with aqueous solutions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of grain boundary segregation in Al-Zn-Mg-Cu 7175 alloys was investigated using embedded atom method and quasi-chemical approach.

TL;DR: The results showed that thicknesses of the Si-, P-, and Al-coating are 8, 4 and 1.1 µm, respectively as discussed by the authors, and that specific phases namely Mg 2 SiO 4, Mg 3 (PO 4 ) 2 and MgAl 2 O 4 were formed in the structure of all three coatings, respectively.
