Metal Physics and TechnologyOpen OpportunitiesBiodegradable implants only stay for a limited time in the body and degrade after they have fulfilled their task. This renders an implant removal surgery unnecessary. This study investigates via electron microscopy and slow strain-rate mechanical testing the underlying mechanisms affecting stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of biodegradable Mg alloys loaded in corrosive environment. - Alloy Materials, Biomaterials
