From: Development of biodegradable Zn-1X binary alloys with nutrient alloying elements Mg, Ca and Sr
Corrosion behavior of as rolled pure Zn and Zn-1X (Mg, Ca, Sr) binary alloys:
(a) Electrochemical polarization curves; (b) Corrosion rate generated by electrochemical tests and weight loss tests (* means p < 0.05 compared with pure Zn group); (c) Surface morphology of as rolled pure Zn and Zn-1X alloys after immersed in Hank’s solution for 2 weeks; (d) and (e) Tensile tests of as rolled pure Zn and Zn-1X (Mg, Ca, Sr) after immersion in Hank’s solution for 2 weeks (d) and 8 weeks (e).
