1. IntroductionMagnesium (Mg) and its alloys have been considered candidate materials for manufacturing biodegradable implants for medical use [1,2,3]. Mg differs from other biomaterials in that it has similar mechanical and physical properties to human bone due to a similar density and modulus of elasticity [4]. Therefore, elastic mismatches between implants and bone are minimized [5,6].
