Abstract Magnesium (Mg) alloys exhibit promising potential for biodegradable orthopaedic applications, with the incorporation of hydroxyapatite (HA), which offers a means to tailor their bioactivity and biodegradation behavior. In this study, effect filler morphology on mechanical behaviour biocorrosion Mg/HA composites is analysed. Two distinct morphologies nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA), needle-like flake-shaped, were incorporated into Mg using stir-casting technique. The nHA led notable increase in hardness, enhancements 15% 29% flake-like nHA. Moreover, ultimate compressive strength exhibited significant improvement flake-shaped 12% Interestingly, morphological variation did not impact degradation composites. Based these findings, it proposed that metal matrix utilizing bioactive as material hold promise enhancing properties nanocomposites, particularly load-bearing implant applications.
