Abstract: Mg-5Y-3Ni-0.2Zr (wt. %) and Mg-5Y-3Zn-0.2Zr (wt. %) alloys with LPSO structure have been designed and fabricated. The microstructure and mechanical property of both the extruded alloys have been comparatively studied. The results showed that the alloy with enough Ni exhibited higher elongation due to the high volume fraction of LPSO structure with excellent compatible deformation capability. The presence of deformation kinks with high kink angle demonstrated the capability of LPSO structure to accommodate the deformation, which could greatly increase the ductility and the toughness of the alloy.

Abstract: Mg alloys were increasingly attracting attention as a potential implant biomaterials because that there will be no need for a second surgery. However, the majority of conventional Mg alloys have been developed for automotive components and were not suitable for Mg based implants. In this paper, a new Mg-RE based materials was developed for implant biomaterials, avoiding the negative influences of previous systems. Microstructure, mechanical and corrosion properties were investigated. The result exhibited that the mechanical properties and degradable rate were sufficient to satisfy the requirement of Mg-based implants. Furthermore, the deformability of the alloy was also investigated. The fine stent pipe was prepared by cold-drawing technology. The primitive results demonstrated that this new alloy was an ideal stent materials.
