Mg alloys have mechanical properties similar to those of human bones, and have been studied extensively because of their potential use in biodegradable medical implants. In this study, the influence of different heat treatment regimens on the microstructure and mechanical and corrosion properties of biodegradable Mg–Zn–Ga alloys was investigated, because Ga is effective in the treatment of disorders associated with accelerated bone loss. Solid–solution heat treatment (SSHT) enhanced the mechanical properties of these alloys, and a low corrosion rate in Hanks’ solution was achieved because of the decrease in the cathodic-phase content after SSHT. Thus, the Mg–4 wt.% Zn–4 wt.% Ga–0.5 wt.% Y alloy after 18 h of SSHT at 350 °C (ultimate tensile strength: 207 MPa; yield strength: 97 MPa; elongation at fracture: 7.5%; corrosion rate: 0.27 mm/year) was recommended for low-loaded orthopedic implants.

Mechanical And Corrosion Properties

Experimental investigations were carried out to study the effect of weld joint designs and post weld heat treatment (PWHT) on mechanical and corrosion properties of low carbon steel. Butt, bevel and half-lap joints were produced with a voltage of 20 V and current of 110 A with the use of 3.2 mm diameter electrode E6013. Full annealing was carried out on part of the welded samples in order to consider the possibility of post weld heat treatment for better performance. The mechanical properties (tensile, hardness, and impact toughness) were studied for both the as welded (AW) and PWHT samples as well as the corrosion performance in a natural sea water environment containing 3.5 wt.% NaCl using potentiodynamic polarization method. The microstructure of the AW and PWHT samples of the welded joints with the most promising mechanical and corrosion properties were then characterized by means of an optical microscopy. The results obtained reveals that the bevel joint followed by half lap joint and the butt joint of the as weld samples gave the best combination of the mechanical properties considered. On the other hand, the corrosion properties of the butt joint were superior to that of the bevel and half lap joint, respectively in the PWHT condition as compared to the AW samples. This implies that PWHT improves the corrosion resistance of the welded steel joints.

ABSTRACT The effect of heat treatment of the plastically worked 7000 series Al-Zn-Mg aluminium alloy system on its stress-corrosion resistance is examined. For the same chemical constitution, the effect of heat treatment on mechanical and corrosion properties of Al-Zn-Mg alloys systems is remarkable. It was proved that a parameter having significant effect on corrosion properties of the alloy is the rate of alloy cooling after heat treatment. This conclusion is confirmed by observation of structural forms which fully reflect mechanical and corrosion properties of the alloy.

Mechanical And Corrosion Properties

Mg alloys are promising materials for bone implant applications mainly due to their low specific density, desirable stiffness and bioresorbability in the human body. Mg-Zn-Ca alloys are among the most promising materials for resorbable orthopedic fixation devices due to their superior biocompatibility. However, the mechanical and corrosion properties of the as-cast Mg-Zn-Ca alloys are insufficient. Heat treatment is a practical approach for strengthening Mg alloys especially after the fabrication of porous structures and 3D-printed components. We have investigated heat treatment of these devices and have studied the resulting microstructure of Mg-1.6Zn-0.5Ca (wt. %) alloys by hardness, compression, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electrochemical and immersion corrosion tests. Mg-1.6Zn-0.5Ca alloy was prepared with high purity Mg, Zn and Ca by casting. The cast ingots were solution-treated at 510 °C for 3 h then quenched in water. The quenched ingots were age hardened in an oil bath at 200 °C for 2 h. Pure Mg, as-cast and heat-treated Mg-1.6Zn-0.5Ca alloy ingots were cut into coupons to characterize their mechanical and corrosion properties. In vitro corrosion tests were conducted in modified simulated body fluid (m-SBF) at pH 7.4 and 37 °C. The hardness of the Mg-Zn-Ca alloy was significantly increased from 52.6 to be 66.8 HV after heat treatment. Also, the compression test results revealed that the heat-treated alloy has the highest compressive yield and ultimate strengths without significant change in stiffness and maximum strain. The mass loss of the Mg-Zn-Ca alloy by week 4 of the in vitro immersion test reduced from 174.6 mg/cm2 for the as-cast alloy to 101.7 mg/cm2 after the heat-treatment process. Heat-treatment was found to be a powerful post-shaping process not only to enhance the mechanical properties of the Mg-1.6Zn-0.5Ca (wt. %) alloy, but also to significantly improve its biocorrosion properties. Such heat-treated alloys can also be coated with biocompatible ceramics that provide additional protection from corrosion during the bone healing period (3–4 months).

Mg alloys were increasingly attracting attention as a potential implant biomaterials because that there will be no need for a second surgery. However, the majority of conventional Mg alloys have been developed for automotive components and were not suitable for Mg based implants. In this paper, a new Mg-RE based materials was developed for implant biomaterials, avoiding the negative influences of previous systems. Microstructure, mechanical and corrosion properties were investigated. The result exhibited that the mechanical properties and degradable rate were sufficient to satisfy the requirement of Mg-based implants. Furthermore, the deformability of the alloy was also investigated. The fine stent pipe was prepared by cold-drawing technology. The primitive results demonstrated that this new alloy was an ideal stent materials.

The defects destroy the integrity of the enamel, and the paper examines the influence of the physical-mechanical and corrosion properties of frits and heat treatment on the defectiveness of the enamel coating. The surface defects were scanned by electron microscope. It has been established that the defectiveness of enamel coatings depends on the melting index, temperature coefficient of linear expansion, surface tension of the frits, and heat treatment conditions. When burning rate of the enamel coating decreases, the fine-meshed structure of the enamel changes, and the size of the defects decreases.

In order to obtain high-strength and high-ductility Al–Si–Cu–Mg alloys, the present research is focused on optimizing the composition of soluble phases, the structure and morphology of insoluble phases, and artificial ageing processes. The results show that the best matches, 0.4 wt% Mg and 1.2 wt% Cu in the Al–9Si alloy, avoided the toxic effect of the blocky Al2Cu on the mechanical properties of the alloy. The addition of 0.6 wt% Zn modified the morphology of eutectic Si from coarse particles to fine fibrous particles and the texture of Fe-rich phases from acicular β-Fe to blocky π-Fe in the Al–9Si–1.2Cu–0.4Mg-based alloy. With the optimization of the heat treatment parameters, the spherical eutectic Si and the fully fused β-Fe dramatically improved the ultimate tensile strength and elongation to fracture. Compared with the Al–9Si–1.2Cu–0.4Mg-based alloy, the 0.6 wt% Zn modified alloy not only increased the ultimate tensile strength and elongation to fracture of peak ageing but also reduced the time of peak ageing. The following improved combination of higher tensile strength and higher elongation was achieved for 0.6 wt% Zn modified alloy by double-stage ageing: 100 °C × 3 h + 180 °C × 7 h, with mechanical properties of ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of ~371 MPa, yield strength (YS) of ~291 MPa, and elongation to fracture (E%) of ~5.6%.

The results of the development of a new alloy of the Al – Mg – Si system of the 6xxx series, which received the V-1381 grade, are presented. The influence of the composition and modes of heat treatment on the mechanical and corrosion properties of sheets with a thickness of 1,0 and 3,0 mm, manufactured under the conditions of FSUE “VIAM”, was investigated. Average level of sheet properties: UTS = 410 MPa, YTS = 360 MPa, El = 11.5 %; fatigue crack growth (dl/dN) = 0,59 mm/kcycle at ΔK = 18,6 MPa·m1/2, intergranular corrosion ≤ 0,15 mm, exfoliation corrosion 4 points. It was found that the structure of the sheets is recrystallized, the main strengthening phase is the coherent matrix β’(Mg2Si)-phase evenly distributed in the volume of grains with a high density. There is also a heterogeneous origin of β′-phase on dislocations and dispersoids. At grain boundaries there are zones free from emissions with a width of 15 – 20 nm. Dispersoids of various morphologies are observed in the tested samples. Temperature and heat values of phase transformations in ingots and sheets are determined and established liquidus and solidus points. The sheet weldability was evaluated by automatic argon-arc welding and the critical rate of deformation of the weld metal during crystallization was determined, at which no cracks were formed in it. Laser welding mode has been developed to ensure optimal formation of geometric parameters of the weld.

Corrosion Properties

Biodegradable zinc (Zn) has shown great potential in the area of biomedical applications. Though, the mechanical properties are decisive for the use of Zn for orthopedic and cardiovascular applications. Consequently, one needs to focus on improving the mechanical properties of Zn for its suitability in biomedical applications. Alloying of essential elements of the human body resulted in enhancement of Zn’s mechanical properties in recent years. The corrosion rate of pure Zn is ideal; however, the addition of other elements has resulted in a loss of its ideal corrosion rate. The inclusion of hydroxyapatite (HA) and iron (Fe) in Zn has also been reported in improving the mechanical properties. Hence, a need is raised for the development of a model which can predict the corrosion rate after adding HA along with Fe in Zn. In this research work, empirical based modeling is proposed to predict the corrosion rate, which incorporates the outcome of addition of Fe and HA in Zn. The Zn based materials were fabricated with the help of microwave sintering for developing the empirical model. The corrosion properties of the materials were assessed through a potentiodynamic polarization test in a simulated body fluid solution. The enhanced corrosion rate was attained with the rise in HA (wt%) and Fe (wt%) in Zn. An empirical correlation was established between the influencing controlling parameters (i.e., corrosion current, equivalent weight, and material density) of corrosion rate. Confirmation experiments were conducted to validate the developed model, and the highest error of 6.12% was obtained between the experimental and predicted values exhibiting the efficaciousness of the proposed model.

Mechanical And Corrosion Properties

Magnesium alloys with rare earth metals are very attractive materials for medical application because of satisfactory mechanical properties. Nevertheless, low corrosion resistance is an obstacle in the use of Mg alloys as resorbable orthopedic implants. The paper presents results of mechanical and corrosion properties of MgCa5-xZn1Gdx (x = 1, 2, and 3 wt. %) alloys. Based on the microscopic observations it was stated that the studied alloys show a dendritic microstructure with interdendritic solute rich regions. The phase analysis reveals an occurrence of α-Mg and Mg2Ca, Ca2Mg6Zn3 phases that are thermodynamic predictions, and stated Mg26Zn59Gd7 phases in MgCa5-xZn1Gdx (x = 1, 2, and 3 wt. %) alloys. The Mg26Zn59Gd7 phases are visible as lamellar precipitations along interdendritic regions. It was confirmed that an increase of Gd content from 1 to 3 wt. % improves ultimate tensile (Rm; from 74 to 89 MPa) and compressive strength (Rc; from 184 to 221 MPa). Moreover, the studied alloys are active in Ringer’s solution. They are characterized by an increase of corrosion potential (Ecorr) of about 150 mV in comparison with values of open circuit potential (EOCP). The best electrochemical parameters (e.g., corrosion current density, icorr, polarization resistance, Rp, and Ecorr) were obtained for the MgCa3Zn1Gd2 alloy.
