“…Usually, the corrosion resistance of Mg alloys can be improved by means of purifying and alloying, 2,11−13 refinement of microstructure by postprocessing 14,15 and surface modification, such as phosphate conversion coatings, 16,17 microarc oxidation (MAO) coatings, 18,19 polymeric coatings, 19 silanemodified coatings, 20 layer-by-layer assembly 21−25 and layered double hydrotalcite. 26,27 Numerous studied have been conducted on biomedical Mg alloys, such as Mg−Al (AZ31), Mg−Zn (Mg−6Zn, Mg−Zn− Nd), Mg−Mn, Mg-RE (WE43), Mg−Ca (Mg−0.8Ca) and Mg−Li (LAE442) alloys.…”
