Magnesium alloys have enormous potential for use in biomedical implants. Magnesium Alloys for Biomedical Applications delves into recent advances and prospects for implementation and provides scientific insights into current issues posed by Mg alloy materials. It provides an overview of research on their mechanical and tribological characteristics, corrosion tendencies, and biological characteristics, with a particular emphasis on biomedical implants.

Details the fundamentals of Mg alloys as well as necessary surface modifications of Mg alloys for biomedical use. Discusses emerging Mg alloys and their composites. Covers mechanical, tribological, and chemical properties, as well as fatigue and corrosion. Highlights emerging manufacturing methods and advancements in new alloy design, composite manufacturing, unique structure design, surface modification, and recyclability. Helps readers identify appropriate Mg-based materials for their applications and select optimal improvement methods. Summarizes current challenges and suggests a roadmap for future research.

Aimed at researchers in materials and biomedical engineering, this book explores the many breakthroughs achieved with these materials and where the field should concentrate to ensure the development of safe and reliable Mg alloy-based implants.
