This work compared the variation of weight of Mg 1%Ca as cast in different concentrations of hydrofluoric acid (HF) such as 45% - 40% - 35% - 25% - 20 % - 13% - 7 % for 24 h at room temperature to be utilized in biomaterial application like hip, knee implants that have effect on corrosion resistance...
