In order to prepare a new biodegradable magnesium alloy with high biosafety, better mechanical properties, and lower degradation rate, in this paper, the effect of the non-toxic element Sn (0%∼2%, mass%) on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of the Mg-1.0Zn-0.3Zr all...
