【 摘 要 】

Magnesium alloy, as biodegradable material, are attracted increasing interest in the field of bone graft substitution due to their excellent biocompatibility and good corrosion resistance. The main clinical challenges of ZK60 Mg alloy remain requirements such as: straight, fracture resistance, work hardening mechanical shock and so on, concomitant with plasticity. According to the Hall-Petch theory, an effectively enhance strength of Mg alloys may be realized by grain refinement. This paper proposes a reliable approach to fabricate Mg cast alloys down to ultrafine-grain range within just a few seconds. Ultrafine grained (UFG) Mg alloy was produced by severe plastic deformation (SPD), using high speed high pressure torsion (HSHPT) procedures. The microstructure evolution of the as-cast and as-severely deformed Mg-Zn-Zr was characterized using electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX). X-ray diffraction analyses (XRD) was performed to study the impact of severe plastic deformation on internal structure changes. Micro hardness tests indicated significant increase with the progression of true strain. Results so far have been very encouraging in developing new solution for biodegradable applications.
