The Effect of Corrosion in Hank's Solution on the Bending Stiffness of Bars from Sintered Iron-Manganese Alloys
Abstract:
Fe-Mn alloys represent promising degradable biomaterials for temporary implants. To investigate the effect of corrosion on their mechanical properties, iron powders were mixed with 25, 30 and 35 wt.% of a manganese powder, compressed into prismatic bars and sintered. Sintered bars were immersed in Hank's solution for 8 weeks. The bending stiffness of each bar before and after its exposure to electrolyte was examined. The higher the porosity of a bar was, the higher relative reduction in bending stiffness the bar exhibited. A likely explanation was that in a more porous bar Hank’s solution penetrated deeper and affected larger volume fraction of bar’s material.
