How the impurities like iron and magnesium can be biodegradable in nature?
Magnesium and Iron-based alloys possess a natural ability to biodegrade due to corrosion when placed within aqueous substances. The nature of these materials to degrade is attributed to their high oxidative corrosion rates which make them suitable for a series of uses like in medical device application in Cardiovascular and Orthopedic devices.
