Microstructure and In Vitro Biodegradable Properties of Fe-Zn Alloys Prepared by Electroforming

Article Preview

Abstract:

New biodegradable Fe-Zn alloys with different concentration of zinc were prepared by electroforming in this paper. The composition, phase and microstructure of the Fe-Zn alloys were investigated by EDX, XRD and SEM, respectively. The potentiodynamic polarization and static immersion test were used to evaluate the in vitro biodegradation properties of these alloys. The results revealed that the alloys consist of single-phase Fe-Zn solid solution and have a better degradation property than pure iron, which make it a potential material used for bioabsorbable endovascular stent.
