Effect of Silver Addition on the Mechanical and Biological Performance of a Newly Developed Multicomponent Magnesium Alloy
The addition of silver to a newly developed Mg-2Zn-1Mn-0.15Ca-0.1Sn alloy enhances its mechanical strength, machinability, and biological performance—including cell proliferation and antibacterial activity—despite a reduction in corrosion resistance, making it a promising candidate for biomedical implant applications.
