Findings From an Accelerated in vivo Corrosion Model of Magnesium

Abstract

In this article, we are presenting some findings of magnesium corrosion in an in vivo model. While there is consensus that subcutaneous bubbles will occur, it was found in our corrosion-accelerated model that magnesium corrosion is more severe in areas under the gas bubbles. This finding may bring insights to novel methods in reducing the uneven corrosion.
