Abstract

The invention includes compositions including magnesium-lithium alloys containing various alloying elements for medical implant devices. The devices are constructed of the compositions or have applied thereto a coating formed therefrom. Within the structure of the magnesium-lithium alloy, there is a co-existence of alpha and beta phases. The invention also includes methods of preparing the magnesium-lithium-based alloys and articles, such as medical implant devices, for use in medical applications, including orthopedic, dental, craniofacial and cardiovascular surgeries.
