In the current study, metal-(metal + ceramic) composites composed of biocompatible elements, magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), calcium (Ca) and manganese (Mn) were synthesized using a sinter-less powder metallurgy method. The composite has a composition of Mg₄₉Zn₄₉Ca₁Mn₁ (wt.%) in which the compositional r...
