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.

The main aim of the study was the evaluation of magnesium alloy surface treatment effectiveness using high-energy heat sources, i.e. a Yb-YAG Disk Laser and the GTAW method. The AZ91 and AM60 commercial magnesium alloys were subject to surface layer modification. Because of the physicochemical properties of the materials studied in case of the GTAW method, it was necessary to provide the welding stand with additional equipment. A novel two-torch set with torches operating in tandem was developed within the experiment. The effectiveness of specimen remelting using a laser and the GTAW method was verified based on macro- and microscopic examinations as well as in X-ray phase analysis and hardness measurements. In addition, the remelting parameters were optimised. The proposed treatment methodology enabled the achieving of the intended result and effective modification of a magnesium alloy surface layer.
