Extrusion resulted in alloys with high mechanical properties with strength superior to commercial Mg alloy and AZ31. Corrosion was also well controlled through the processing methods described, and cell viability studies shown here demonstrated low toxicity of the alloys when in direct contact with cells and when their degradation products were exposed to cells. Further biocompatibility and biomechanics test studies will be conducted in relevant animal models that will be described in the near future.
