Effect of zinc addition on the properties of magnesium alloys

Magnesium alloys are currently used in many structural applications. It is believed that magnesium and its alloys may also find applications in biomedical application. In this study, the effects of Zinc (Zn) addition on the properties of magnesium (Mg) alloys, i.e. Mg-xZn (x = 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10) we...
