| Abstract Scope |
Although the Mg-based alloys hold an enormous potential to be used for temporary implants, their widespread application is still restricted due to their rapid degradation rate in body fluid. Towards this, a novel Mg-Zn-Ca-Mn alloy has been developed where each of the alloying element is body nutrient element and thus ensure biosafety. A heat treatment schedule has been designed for the alloy based on thermodynamic and kinetic modelling (by FactSage software using FTlite database) to ensure optimum homogenization of the solute elements. Through experimentation, it has been observed that the parameters chosen for heat treatment through modelling fetches sufficient mechanical properties for temporary fixture applications. Moreover, the influence of optimized homogenization parameters towards the improvement on in-vitro bio-corrosion property of the alloy has been systematically studied. |
