With a suitable degradation rate, fully bioresorbable degradation products, and excellent
biocompatibility, Zn and its alloys are regarded as the most promising biodegradable …

Alloying combined with plastic deformation processing is widely used to improve
mechanical properties of pure Zn. As-cast Zn and its alloys are brittle. Beside plastic …

For the purpose of designing high strength and high ductility Zn–Cu–Mg biodegradable
alloys, this study systematically investigated the evolutions of CuZn 5 and Mg 2 Zn 11 s …

Abstract Zn-Mn-Cu alloys with micro-alloying of Mn and Cu in Zn are developed as potential
biodegradable metals. Although the as-cast alloys are very brittle, their ductilities are …

Abstract Nowadays, Zinc (Zn)-based biocomposites as biodegradable implant materials
have been recognized as a promising approach to overcome the insufficient mechanical …

Abstract Knowledge of phase diagrams is essential for material design as it helps in
understanding microstructure evolution during processing. The determination of phase …

Heterogeneous laminates are developed to address the trade-off between strength and
ductility, but interface cracking is a major concern. In this work, a heterostructured copper …

Alloys from the Snsingle bondCu systems have superior properties as compared to the
Snsingle bondPb alloys, such as mechanical and corrosion resistance. However, Snsingle …

The growth behaviors, diffusion kinetics and mechanical properties of Cu–Zn intermetallic
compounds (IMCs) have been studied. The formation of three IMCs β′(CuZn), γ (Cu 5 Zn 8) …

Metal matrix composites have been recognized as a feasible approach to obtain a new
generation of biodegradable Zn-based material. Nevertheless, there is a great challenge in …
