Synergistic enhancement: realizing superior strength, ductility and degradation performance in pure magnesium
摘要
Pure magnesium (Mg) has been widely used in orthopedic medical materials due to its biodegradability and excellent biocompatibility. However, it is difficult to realize pure Mg in clinical procedures due to its poor mechanical properties and non-uniform degradation. Grain refinement is the main strengthening mechanism of pure Mg, and uniform degradation can be achieved by fine-grained microstructure. In this work, the Mg with the average grain size of 3.62 μm was prepared by the low-temperature secondary extrusion in a well-controlled Zener-Hollomon parameter of
