Biodegradable Magnesium Alloys for Personalised Temporary Implants

The objective of this experimental work was to examine and characterise the route for obtaining demonstrative temporary biodegradable personalised implants from Mg alloy Mg-10Zn-0.5Zr-0.8Ca (wt.%). This studied obtained in its powder state using mechanical alloying method, with shape size characteristics suitable ensuing 3D additive manufacturing SLM (selective laser melting) procedure. procedure applied various processing parameters. All samples were characterised microstructurally (using XRD—X-ray diffraction, SEM—scanning electron microscopy); mechanically, by applying a compression test; and, finally, corrosion resistance viewpoint. Using optimal test parameters, few small dimensions made via method. Our conclusion is that combined has good potential manage magnesium alloys. tests show results closer those human bones compared other metallic shows result comparable commercial ZK60.
