Abstract:

Zinc based alloys have recently attracted great attention as promising biodegradable metals. Zinc exhibits moderate degradation rates in biological fluid and the zinc releases during the degradation process is considered safe to human systems. However, these materials exhibit critical limitations in terms of mechanical properties for medical applications. Adding alloying elements as well as grain refinement by thermomechanical processing are considered as effective techniques to address this problem. Sever plastic deformation (SPD) methods were considered in recent few years to process the zinc-based bioalloys to achieve acceptable mechanical characteristic while retaining their desired biocorrosion behavior. Summarizing present literature implied that Mg, Ag, Mn, and Ca containing zinc bioalloys may provide an improved strength and ductility approaching the common mechanical criteria. However, due to low melting temperature of zinc, there remains new uncertainties in mechanical response as future challenge, including low creep resistance and high susceptibility to natural aging at body temperature.

Numerical Analysis of Severe Plastic Deformation by High Pressure Torsion

High-pressure torsion (HPT) is a metal processing method in which the sample is subjected to a very high plastic shear deformation. This process can produce exceptional levels of grain refinement, and provides a corresponding improvement in mechanical properties. To investigate the stress and strain distribution due to HPT process finite element simulation were conducted to investigate effectiv...

Nucleation of deformation twins in nanocrystalline face-centered-cubic metals processed by severe plastic deformation

Nanocrystalline nc materials are known to deform via mechanisms not accessible to their coarse-grained counterparts. For example, deformation twins and partial dislocations emitted from grain boundaries have been observed in nc Al and Cu synthesized by severe plastic deformation SPD . This paper further develops an earlier dislocation-based model on the nucleation of deformation twins in nc fac...

Nanostructure and properties of a Cu-Cr composite processed by severe plastic deformation

A Cu-Cr composite was processed by severe plastic deformation to investigate the role of interphase boundaries on the grain size reduction mechanisms. The as-deformed material exhibits a grain size of only 20nm. This gives rise to a dramatic increase of the hardness. Some deformation induced Cu super saturated solid solutions were clearly exhibited and it is shown that they decrease the hardnes...

Bonding Characteristics of Al and Al-Alloy Strips: Processed by Severe Plastic Deformation

In this paper, the study of efficient bonding characteristics of AA6014 and AA1050 metal strips is carried out for Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB) process. Among various Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) techniques, ARB process is widely used due to its ability to produce ultra-fine grained ( UFG) or nanostructured bulk material. It has been observed that, if the experimental pressure and corres...
