Magnesium är en silvervit metall med unika egenskaper som gör den väldigt intressant. Metallen är bland de lättaste med en densitet på 1.74 g/cm3, återvinningsbar och leder ström. Magnesium är biologiskt nedbrytbart i kroppen och anses därmed vara en utav de främsta kandidaterna för biomedicinska implantat. En utav utmaningarna med användning av magnesium som implantat är dess begränsande inneboenMagnesium alloys are promising candidates for biomedical implants due to their ability to dissolve in the human body, which improves the surgical procedures making a secondary surgery to remove the implant unnecessary. However, one of the main challenges magnesium alloys faces in terms of an implant is their inferior strength compared to such permanent implant materials as stainless steel and tita
