Magnesium Alloys for Biomedical Applications: Advances and Challenges

This book delves into recent advances and prospects for implementation of Mg alloys in biomedical implants and provides scientific insights into current issues posed by Mg alloys materials. It provides an overview of research on their mechanical and tribological characteristics, corrosion tendencies, and biological characteristics.

Deepak Kumar is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, USA. His work involves the development of thin conductive film, integration of these methods with devices using clean room technology, characterizing device behavior through a novel, in-house-built controlled characterization platform, and analyzing the results to unravel the mechanisms governing performance limits and failure modes.

Dr. Nooruddin Ansari is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A & M University, Qatar. He is currently working on the development of steels, Ti, Al, and Mg alloys through additive manufacturing, with a focus on investigating their mechanical and corrosion behavior across different environments.
