TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of rear earths (RE) on the microstructure of AZ91 and Mg-6Al-xRE magnesium alloys was investigated, where x is 0, 1, 2 and 3% (in weight percent, wt%), respectively.

TL;DR: In vitro evaluation shows that Zn-4Cu presents acceptable toxicity to human endothelial cells, and could effectively inhibit bacteria adhesion and biofilm formation, which make it an excellent candidate material for biodegradable implants, especially for cardiovascular stents application.

TL;DR: In this paper, the progress and developments of high-performance rare earth (RE) alloys with emphasis on cast alloys are reviewed, and the main contents include alloy design, melt purification, grain refinement, castability, novel liquid casting and semisolid forming approaches, and industrial applications or trials made of Mg-RE alloys.

TL;DR: The results reveal that the extruded JDBM alloy and the aging treatment on the extrusion alloy show much better biocorrosion resistance than that at solid solution state (T4 treatment), and the J DBM exhibited favorable uniform corrosion mode in SBF.

TL;DR: In this paper, the corrosion properties of Mg-3Nd-0.4Zr (NZ30K) alloy were investigated in as-cast (F), solution treated (T4) and peak-aged (T6) conditions in 5% NaCl solution by immersion test and electrochemical measurements.
