Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is effective in producing bulk ultrafine-grained and
nanostructured materials with large densities of lattice defects. This field, also known as …

Biodegradable metals (BMs) gradually degrade in vivo by releasing corrosion products once
exposed to the physiological environment in the body. Complete dissolution of …

To date, more than fifty articles have been published on the feasibility studies of zinc and its
alloys as biodegradable metals. These preliminary in vitro and in vivo studies showed …

Ultrafine-grained materials display almost no strain hardening, an enhanced strain rate
sensitivity and grain boundary offsets during plastic deformation. It is expected that …

Extruded polycrystalline pure magnesium (Mg) with fine grain size (~ 1.2 µm) exhibits
ductility of over 100% at room temperature, in spite of the presence of a strong basal texture …

In this work, the effect of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) on the microstructure and
mechanical properties of zinc and zinc alloys with Ag, Cu, and Mn additions (0.5 at%) was …

Zn–Ag alloys are promising biodegradable materials for clinical applications, but their
mechanical properties are below the application requirements. In this work, a high-strength …

Zn and its alloys are considered as a new class of biodegradable metals due to their
moderate degradation rates and acceptable biocompatibility. However, inadequate …

Superplasticity, a phenomenon of high tensile elongation in polycrystalline materials, is
highly effective in fabrication of complex parts by metal forming without any machining …

The solid solution strengthening of Li, Mg, Al, Mn, Cu and Ag in biodegradable Zn-based
alloys is quantitatively investigated by first-principles calculations based on density …
