Abstract

In recent years, Magnesium alloy has gained big interest to be developed as orthopedic implant material due to its good biocompatibility and mechanical properties that are closest to human bones. Nevertheless, the rapid degradation of magnesium is still becoming an obstacle to its clinical orthopedic applications. Therefore, it needs several treatments to increase strength and corrosion resistance. This paper will review the effect of thermomechanical treatment with the hot rolling method for improving the mechanical properties of Mg-Li-Al alloy. Furthermore, this review will also discuss the effect of the percentage of rolling reduction and the addition of lithium (Li) and aluminum (Al) as alloying elements on structural changes and strengthening mechanisms that occur in magnesium alloys.
