In-vitro biomineralization and biocompatibility of friction stir additively manufactured AZ31B magnesium alloy-hydroxyapatite composites

Article presents research where friction stir additive manufacturing technique was employed to fabricate AZ31B magnesium-hydroxyapatite composite. The study aims to evaluate effect of hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆OH₂), a ceramic similar to natural bone, into AZ31B Mg alloy matrix on biomineralization and biocompatibility.
