Impact of copper addition and calcium phosphate coating on Mg alloys for biomedical applications by Jasper Samuel, Abraham Sumithran, Gautham Srinivas S, Prawin Babu L, Radha R

“…The application of calcium phosphate coatings led to a reduction in corrosion rates to 840.2 mm/year, 744.7 mm/year, and 802.1 mm/year for different coating compositions. Although calcium phosphate coatings reduced the corrosion rate, they did not meet the required threshold for biomedical applications. …”
