Microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg–4.0Zn–0.5Ca alloy

Research on Mg-Zn-Ca Alloy as Degradable Biomaterial

“…At the same time, the introduction of Ca to Mg-Zn alloys result in precipitation of desolventizing phase, Ca2Mg6Zn3 and Ca2Mg5Zn13, which could enhance the strength and toughness of alloy [24][25] [26]. The current work showed that an addition of small amount of Ca to Mg-4.0 Zn alloys had a marked increase in the tensile strength, but Ca content was excess of 0.5 wt.…”

Evolution of Mechanical Twinning during Cyclic Deformation of Mg-Zn-Ca Alloys

“…However, for the purpose of the present work, the investigated ZX40 alloys reached of 135 MPa σ 0.2 conventional yield stress, 276 MPa ultimate tensile strength and the excellent elongation to failure of 31% after ECAP is a good combination of strength and ductility for this class of alloys, cf. [52]. For the extruded Mg-4.0Zn-0.2Ca alloy, Sun et al [4] have reported the yield stress of 240 MPa, tensile strength of 297 MPa and elongation to failure of 21%.…”

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg–6Zn–xCu–0.6Zr (wt.%) alloys

“…Two main factors including grain size [10] and c/a axial ratio [11][12][13][14] have been considered having a great influence on the elongation of cast magnesium alloys. Since the grain size of the Cu-containing alloys shows no clear change (Fig.…”
