This article Reference Ye, Tse and Tang1 has been retracted by the corresponding author, G. Tang.

In Figs. 5(a) and 5(b), lead author X. Ye duplicated the microstructure figures to interpret the samples under the different treatment conditions.

Additionally, Ye replicated the XRD patterns shown in Fig. 4 from previously published articles in Journal of Materials Research, Reference Ye, Tang, Song and Kuang2 Advanced Engineering Materials, Reference Ye, Tse, Tang and Song3 Materials Science and Engineering: A, Reference Ye, Tse, Tang, Geng and Song4 and Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials Reference Ye, Tse, Tang and Song5 without appropriate citations or permissions.

Tang wishes to mention that the co-author Z.T.H. Tse was not involved in the preparation and handling of this article. He was not informed about the publication nor did he grant the use of his name and affiliation in the publication.
