In this study, to control the rapid degradation rate of Mg/27.5HA nanocomposite, the single-layered Si and double-layered MgO/Si coatings were fabricated on Mg/27.5HA by milling-multi steps pressing-sintering powder metallurgy method. The microstructure, chemical composition and cross-section of the...
