Zinc (Zn), one of the promising candidates for biodegradable implant materials, has excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. In this study, as-cast Zn1FexMg (x ≤ 1.5 wt %) alloys were prepared to systematically explore the effects of magnesium (Mg) alloying on their microstructures, mechanical properties, and biodegradability. The microstructure of Zn1FexMg alloy consisted of Zn matrix, Zn + Mg2Zn11 eutectic structure, and FeZn13 phase. The addition of Mg not only promoted grain refinement of the alloy, but also improved its m
