Fig. 2.
Microstructural characterization of various regions of ZX00 screws before in vitro immersion and in vivo implantation. SEM images with the corresponding EDX maps and the equivalent dimensions for grains (a–c), inverse pole figure (IPF) maps with the average grain size (d–f), grain boundary (GB) distributions (g–i), Kernel average misorientation (KAM) maps (j–l), and X-ray diffraction patterns of the ZX00 alloy (m). (The figure should be printed in color).
