Metallurgical Characterization of some Magnesium Alloys for Medical Applications

Abstract:

The magnesium alloys has been intensively studied for their suitable mechanical properties, excellent biocompatibility and their ability to biodegrade in biological environments. Although magnesium biodegradable implants possess many desirable properties, it is important that the alloy is able to be tolerated by the body- the constitutional elements of magnesium-based alloys should be toxic free. In this study two binary magnesium alloys Mg-Ca0,8 and Mg-Ca1,8 were experimentally obtained by casting and was characterized in order to investigate the microstructure, mechanical properties and how alloying elements influenced the characteristics of this new alloys potentially used for orthopedic implants.
