Overview

New Mg-xZn-yZr-1Y alloys show improved microstructure and corrosion resistance, highlighting material potential.

Key Points

  • The research aims to evaluate the effect of zinc and zirconium on the properties of magnesium alloys for biomedical use.
  • Developed six Mg-xZn-yZr-1Y alloy variations
  • Assessed microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance
  • Measured tensile strength, yield strength, Young's modulus, and corrosion current density
  • Alloy with 3 wt% Zn and 0.5 wt% Zr showed optimal properties
  • Achieved 201.6 MPa tensile strength and 80.7 MPa yield strength
  • Corrosion current density measured at 1.77 µA/cm² with low hydrogen evolution rate
