Recently, the demand for a bio-absorbable coronary stent to promote recovery after an operation has increased. An option for such a stent is one made of a magnesium alloy, which has biodegradable properties. However, magnesium alloys have lower rigidity and lower ductility than other metals; as such, an appropriate stent structure is required to ensure radial rigidity. In this study, design parameters for an AZ31 magnesium alloy stent with sufficient radial rigidity were investigated. The necessary radial rigidity was determined by comparison tests against commercially available stents. The design parameters of the cell struts were selected and the optimum values to achieve high radial rigidity were investigated by means of elastic–plastic finite element analysis. Finally, a trial model stent based on the optimized design parameters was produced. It was confirmed that the model had sufficient radial rigidity, with no fracturing evident during crimping and expansion processes.

Magnesium alloy sheets are usually formed at temperatures between 150 and 300°C because of their poor formability at room temperature. In the present study, the formability of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheets was investigated by the analytical and experimental approaches. First, tensile tests and limit dome height tests were carried out at several temperatures between 25 and 300°C to get the mechanical properties and forming limit diagram (FLD). A FLD-based criterion considering the material temperature during deformation was used to predict the forming limit from a finite element analysis (FEA) of the cross-shaped cup deep drawing process. This criterion proved to be very useful in designing the geometrical parameters of the forming tools and determining optimal process conditions such as tool temperatures and blank shape by the comparison between finite element temperature-deformation analyses and physical try-out. The heating and cooling channels were also optimally designed through heat transfer analyses.
