“…Many new magnesium alloys and composites have been produced and evaluated for biomaterial applications (Mueller et al, 2010, Hermawan, Sunil et al, 2014a, Sunil et al, 2014b, Kirkland and Birbilis, 2014, Keim et al, 2011. However, the applications are seriously limited due to the excessively rapid degradation rate in the physiological environment (Staiger et al, 2006, Mueller et al, 2010, Keim et al, 2011, Witte et al, 2006, Wang et al, 2008 (Jinfeng et al, 2014, Zakiyuddin et al, 2014, Gao et al, 2011, Wang et al, 2010. Furthermore, rapid solidification is another effective way to refine the microstructures of Mg alloys (Wang et al, 2010, Willbold et al, 2013, Liao et al, 2012.…”
