Regulating mechanical properties and degradation behavior of biodegradable Zn–0.6Mg alloy via ECAP plus cold rolling

Biodegradable PMMA coated Zn–Mg alloy with bimodal grain structure for orthopedic applications - A promising alternative

“…7 Comparing the current study's tensile strengths, elongation, and corrosion with selected materials from the Zn–Mg system, (a) yield tensile strength vs. elongation to failure and (b) UTS vs. corrosion rate. Corrosion rates are calculated as the average corrosion of specimens immersed in SBF for 30 days or less [ 9 , 10 , 37 , [45] , [46] , [47] , [48] , [49] ]. …”

“…Ultimately, fully recrystallized sub-grains are thought to generate in-situ regions adjacent to secondary phases devoid of dislocations, as supported by Refs. [ 45 , 62 ]. The current study supports the same hypothesis, as evidenced by the nearly clear regions of the strain fields surrounding the sub-grains, even in the presence of secondary phases ( Fig.…”
