Fatigue of Magnesium-Based Materials

Abstract: Magnesium alloys and metal matrix composites (MMCs) are attractive materials for biomedical application. Magnesium has a module of elasticity that is close to that of human bones and it is biocompatible with the human body. Human body fluids make a corrosive environment to magnesium. In addition, different body parts are subjected to cyclic loading reaching a magnitude of about 80 MPa and an estimated total of 106 cycles per year. Therefore, understanding the fatigue behavior of magnesium alloys and magnesium … Show more

“…Recently, magnesium (Mg) has been used in a vast range of applications in different fields including biomedicine and automobile due to their attractive properties. [1][2][3][4][5] Particularly, the light weight of magnesium makes this material extremely attractive for transportation industries, such as automobile and aircraft industries, due to the possibility to reduce the fuel consumption and the gas emission. 6 However, to fully exploit the light weight of Mg, researchers have started focusing on the addition of alloying elements to increase the specific strength of pure Mg.…”
