Abstract

The study of degradation and corrosion enable the development of corrosion resistant materials in many different usages specifically in the human body. Certain medical procedures and equipment need placement of biodegradable materials such as the placement of a stent. Magnesium based alloys biodegrade within the human body making them a viable material in medicine. Magnesium based alloys have a fast degradation rate which can affect the healing process. This paper is a literature review to address the concerns of degradation rates of biodegradable materials based on models to understand degradation rates, hydrogen absorption and desorption, pourbaix diagrams, and corrosion, and reactions.
