Zn and Zn-based alloys as biodegradable material have drawn more and more attention in recent years due to their good mechanical properties, lower degradation rate than Mg and acceptable biocompatibility. However, too low degradation rate is a challenge for future application of Zn-based alloys. In this study, Zn-3Cu-xFe (x=0, 0.5 and 1wt%) alloys were proposed as candidate biodegradable materials...
