Twin-roll casting AZ31 Mg alloy sheets have been fabricated by normal unidirectional-rolling, head-to-tail rolling, and clock-rolling, respectively. It has been demonstrated that head-to-tail rolling is the most effective to refine the microstructure and weaken the basal texture among the three rolling routes. Excellent integrated tensile properties can be obtained by the head-to-tail rolling. ...

A recent study on post-superplastic forming properties has shown that heating time prior to testing has a major effect on the post-forming properties of superplastically-formed AZ31 Magnesium alloy sheets. To this point, there has been very little examination into the effects of pre-heating or annealing on superplastic forming. In this work, these effects are examined using AZ31 Mg alloy sample...

This paper compares two types of polylactic acid (PLA) coating on AZ31 alloy obtained by dip and electrospinning. Both were loaded with gentamicin sulphate (GS) the drug-loading efficiency release assessed. A higher encapsulation GS was seen for (73% 49.53%, respectively) compared to nanofiber (65% 12.37%, respectively). Furthermore, antibacterial effect samples without assessed using Gram-nega...

Abstract The aim of the research is to develop a neural network model predict mechanical strength AZ31 magnesium alloy in addition with Calcium. This would help researchers or academicians fabricate AZ31+x wt. % Ca which finds more importance making biodegradable implants orthopedic surgery. As yield human bone lies between 104.9 – 114.3 MPa whereas for pure Mg it very lesser, needed make alloy...

The use of bioabsorbable metals as temporary medical implants has attracted considerable research interest they do not require a second surgical operation for removal after the healing process is completed. However, magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have degradation rate that too high in biological environments. Therefore, it must be controlled using various strategies. In this study, an AZ31-Mg-ba...

Magnesium alloys have recently attracted great interest due their lightweight and high specific strength. However, because of their hexagonal close-packed structure, they have few active slip systems, resulting in poor ductility and high mechanical anisotropy at room temperature. In the present work, we used a cross-shear deformation imposed by a differential speed rolling (DSR) technique to im...
