The different hydrogen evolution rates for Mg immersed in simulated body fluid solutions with and without phosphates signify that the constituents of the body fluid could play different roles in the biodegradation of a magnesium implant. Currebtly, there is still a lack of fundamental understanding of the corrosion behavior of magnesium in the body fluid.
