Metallurgical and Bio-corrosion Attributes of Thermo-mechanically Processed α-Magnesium-Lithium Alloy for Bio-implant Application

The HEK-293 kidney cell viability test demonstrated that the α-Mg-4Li alloy, when rolled at 300°C with 90% reduction, exhibited good bio-corrosion characteristics for implant application, and the presence of bio-mineralization, which is important in bio-Corrosion, was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy.
