Studies on magnesium rods reveal their promising role in advanced applications, particularly in the medical, aerospace, and automotive sectors. In orthopedic implants, magnesium alloys, enhanced by calcium and strontium, offer ideal mechanical properties and biodegradability for bone healing. Aerospace applications benefit from magnesium's lightweight and strong properties, contributing to reduced aircraft weight. In automotive industries, magnesium rods improve fuel efficiency and maintain structural integrity. Additionally, researchers focus on surface treatments to enhance corrosion resistance for magnesium alloys used in marine, industrial, and biomedical environments. Magnesium's biocompatibility allows its use in fabricating temporary cardiovascular stents. These findings bring out the growing significance of magnesium rods in high-performance industries.
