Obtaining of Fe-Base Biodegradable Metallic Alloy

Abstract:

Biodegradable metallic materials gain space in implantable materials field based on the applications that can fulfill. Beside Mg-based alloys a new class of metallic materials is under development, alloys based on Fe, in order to improve the corrosion rate, one of the disadvantages of magnesium alloys, and the mechanical properties of the implant. In this article we present the steps took to obtain a biodegradable FeMnSi alloy with metallic additions and few preliminary results about the chemical composition (X-ray dispersive energy analyze EDS) of the sample and the influence of hardening heat treatment on chemical composition. After the melting and pouring stages the new material was analyzed.
