Development and Characterization of AZ91 Magnesium Alloy Reinforced with Ti Wires.

Lightweight metals are increasingly used in biomedical engineering, and can be found in orthopaedics (screws, implants), stomatology, cardiology (stents) and as scaffolds. Magnesium alloys have a low density (1.74 g/cm), which is very close to that of bone (1.
