Summary of the average daily degradation rate (mass loss rate) per unit surface area in EGM™-2 media of the Mg-based materials in this study and critical Zn/Sr at% ratios that affect β-phase formation and corrosion resistance of ZSr41 alloys. Scale bar in SEM micrographs = 10 μm. Numbers in parenthesis indicate elemental O content (at%) in the β-phase of each ZSr41 alloy. Degradation values are mean ± SD, n = 3; *p < 0.05.
