“…mechanical treatment, heat treatment and machining) [15,27,41,177,178]. High pressure die casting (HPDC), as well as, gravity casting has been used in addition to more recent methods of low pressure casting, squeeze casting, semi-solid casting, lost foam casting and ablation casting [179][180][181]. We will discuss the most common casting methods in this section.…”

Metallic alloys have been introduced as biodegradable metals for various biomedical applications over the last decade owing to their gradual corrosion in the body, biocompatibility and superior strength compared to biodegradable polymers. Mg alloys possess advantageous properties that make them the most extensively studied biodegradable metallic material for orthopedic applications such as their low density, modulus of elasticity, close to that of the bone, and resorbability. Early resorption (i.e., <3months) and relatively inadequate strength are the main challenges that hinder the use of Mg alloys for bone fixation applications. The development of resorbable Mg-based bone fixation hardware with superior mechanical and corrosion performance requires a thorough understanding of the physical and mechanical properties of Mg alloys. This paper discusses the characteristics of successful Mg-based skeletal fixation hardware and the possible ways to improve its properties using different methods such as mechanical and heat treatment processes. We also review the most recent work pertaining to Mg alloys and surface coatings. To this end, this paper covers (i) the properties and development of Mg alloys and coatings with an emphasis on the Mg-Zn-Ca-based alloys; (ii) Mg alloys fabrication techniques; and (iii) strategies towards achieving Mg-based, resorbable, skeletal fixation devices.

“…By adopting grade-pressurization process under solidification, the collapsing of primary dendrites network formed to the equiaxed dendrites [4]. Another work done by Fu [5] on AM50 alloy prepared by LPC concluded that with decreasing filling time, the grain size become finer, leading to the higher yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, elongation and density.…”

“…Casting at low temperatures reduces the roughness of the as-cast components, which adds to the advantageous greater mechanical properties observed by Fu et al [4]. However, the roughness dependency upon the molten metal temperature induces a roughness variation over the entire cast Table 2 Relationship between roughness parameters (Ra, Rz) and molten metal conditions (solid fraction fS and temperature T) Ra (μm)…”

“…The filling velocity mastered during counter-gravity mold filling and the protective atmosphere permanently present above the molten metal lower the amount of entrapped gas porosities and oxides in the cast components [1][2][3]. While the LPSC process has been widely studied for the aluminum casting industry, few investigations have been published about the LPSC of magnesium alloys [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The development in additive manufacturing, also referred to as 3D printing technology, widens the opportunities by improving dimensional accuracies for sand mold casting from functional prototypes to massive production [15,16].…”

International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, Springer Verlag, 2017, 92 (5-8), pp.1883-1891. 10.1007 Investigating surface roughness of ZE41 magnesium alloy cast by low-pressure sand casting processAbstract The sand mold 3D printing technologies enable the manufacturing of molds with great dimensional accuracy. However, the roughness of as-cast components is higher when cast in a 3D printed mold rather than in a traditional sand mold. Coating the inner cavity is an efficient solution but can be costly and, in the narrowest cavities, not achievable. Finding a procedure to reduce the as-cast roughness without coating would ease the casting procedures. In the present work, surface analysis of ZE41 magnesium alloy is presented after being cast in 3D printed furan sand molds without coating using the low-pressure casting process. The molten metal temperature was measured during casting at different positions along the cast cavity. The as-cast surface roughness was correlated to the molten metal temperature and solid fraction at the time of contact against the sand mold surface.
