“…Many Mg-based alloy systems, such as Mg-Ca [4,5], Mg-Zn [6,7], Mg-Sr [8][9][10], Mg-Y [11], Mg-RE (RE = rare earth) [12][13][14][15] systems, are proposed for medical applications. Mg alloys containing RE elements, such as WE43 (Mg-4Y-3RE, wt.%) and AE42 (Mg-4Al-2RE, wt.%), have already shown a good combination of mechanical and corrosion properties in structural application.…”
