摘要

Magnesium-based biodegradable implants are designed to replace permanent implants, eliminating the demand for implant removal by secondary surgery. The Mg-Y-Zn-Mn alloys are outstanding solutions for biomedical purposes due to their superior mechanical properties and moderate biodegradability. This research examines the effect of Y and Zn content and extrusion temperature on the corrosion performance of three Mg-Y-Zn-Mn alloys having a Y/Zn atomic ratio close to 1.5. The corrosion performance was quantified using immersion and polarization corrosion tests within a Hanks solution, and high corrosion resistance of alloys was observed. One of the Mg-Y-Zn-Mn alloys underwent cytotoxicity testing on MG63 cells, and no cytotoxicity was observed. The analysis of the extract composition revealed that after 6-10× dilution, the level of alloy elements in the extract is either close to or lower than the normal daily level for humans. The Mg-3.4 wt.% Y-1.7 wt.% Zn-0.8 wt.% Mn (Mg-1.0 at.% Y-0.6 at.% Zn-0.4 at.% Mn) alloy, after extrusion at 450°C, exhibits a corrosion rate of 0.17 mm/year and is not cytotoxic, making it an optimal material for use in manufacturing orthopedic implants.
