Among them, Mg-Zn based alloys are attracting increasing interest for both applications. As such, this article provides a review of the corrosion performance and mechanical properties of Mg-Zn based alloys, including the influence of environment and processing on both of them. The strategies for tailoring corrosion resistance and/or mechanical properties by microstructure adjustment and surface treatment are discussed.}, issn = {2624-5558}, doi = {10.3390/cmd1010007}, url = {https://macau.uni-kiel.de/receive/macau_mods_00003035}, url = {https://doi.org/10.3390/cmd1010007}, file = {:https://macau.uni-kiel.de/servlets/MCRFileNodeServlet/macau_derivate_00004182/cmd-01-00007-v4.pdf:PDF}, language = {en} }
