The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanical properties of Mg–6%Zn–Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2  composite and evaluate its biodegradable behavior in Ringer's solution. The Mg–6%Zn alloy with 5%, 10% and 15% addition of Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2  as reinforcements are produced through a powder-metallurgy sinter method and their corrosion properties are tested. The results show that the mechanical properties of the Mg–6%Zn–Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2  composites are adjustable by the addition and particle distributions of Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 . The Mg–6%Zn–5%, 10%Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2  composites obtain properties including density, Young's modulus, and strength similar to natural bone. The Mg matrix, Mg 7 Zn 3  phase, and Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2  are identified in the experimental composite. Immersion and electrochemical corrosion tests reveal that 5% and 10% addition of Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2  particles in the Mg–6%Zn alloy exhibit acceptable corrosion resistance in Ringer's solution.
