The successful applications of magnesium-based alloys as biodegradable orthopedic implants are mainly inhibited due to their high degradation rates in physiological environment. This study examines the bio-corrosion behaviour of Mg–2Zn–0.2X (X = Ca, Mn, Si) alloys in Ringer’s physiological solution that simulates bodily fluids, and compares it with that of AZ91 magnesium alloy. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results showed a better corrosion behaviour of AZ91 alloy with respect to Mg–2Zn–0.2Ca and Mg–2Zn–0.2Si alloys. On the contrary, enhanced corrosion resistance was observed for Mg–2Zn–0.2Mn alloy compared to the AZ91 one: Mg–2Zn–0.2Mn alloy exhibited a four-fold increase in the polarization resistance than AZ91 alloy after 168 h exposure to the Ringer’s physiological solution. The improved corrosion behaviour of the Mg–2Zn–0.2Mn alloy with respect to the AZ91 one can be ascribed to enhanced protective properties of the Mg(OH)2 surface layer. The present study suggests the Mg–2Zn–0.2Mn alloy as a promising candidate for its applications in degradable orthopedic implants, and is worthwhile to further investigate the in vivo corrosion behaviour as well as assessed the mechanical properties of this alloy.  相似文献

There is a great clinical need for biodegradable bile duct stents. Biodegradable stents made of an Mg–6Zn alloy were investigated in both vivo animal experiment and in vitro cell experiments. During the in vivo experiments, blood biochemical tests were performed to determine serum magnesium, serum creatinine (CREA), blood urea nitro-gen (BUN), serum lipase (LPS), total bilirubin (TB) and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT) levels. Moreover, tissue samples of common bile duct (CBD), liver and kidney were taken for histological evaluation. In the in vitro experiments, primary mouse extrahepatic bile duct epithelial cells (MEBDECs) were isolated and cultured. Cytotoxicity testing was carried out using the MTT method. Flow cytometry analyses with propidium iodide staining were performed to evaluate the effect of Mg–6Zn alloy extracts on cell cycle. The in vivo experiments revealed no significant differences (P > 0.05) in serum magnesium, CREA, BUN, LPS, TB or GPT before and after the operation. Based on the HE results, hepatocytes, bile duct epithelial cells, renal glomerulus and renal tubule tissues did not present significant necrosis. In the in vitro experiments, the cell relative growth rate curve did not change significantly from 20 to 40 % extracts. In vitro experiments showed that 20–40 % Mg–6Zn extracts are bio-safe for MEBDECs. In vivo experiments showed that Mg–6Zn stents did not affect several important bio-chemical parameters or, harm the function or morphology of the CBD, kidney, pancreas and liver. Our data suggested that this Mg–6Zn alloy is a safe biocompatible material for CBD.  相似文献

Zn and Ca were selected as alloying elements to develop an Mg–Zn–Ca alloy system for biomedical application due to their good biocompatibility. The effects of Ca on the microstructure, mechanical and corrosion properties as well as the biocompatibility of the as-cast Mg–Zn–Ca alloys were studied. Results indicate that the microstructure of Mg–Zn–Ca alloys typically consists of primary α-Mg matrix and Ca2Mg6Zn3/Mg2Ca intermetallic phase mainly distributed along grain boundary. The yield strength of Mg–Zn–Ca alloy increased slightly with the increase of Ca content, whilst its tensile strength increased at first and then decreased. Corrosion tests in the simulated body fluid revealed that the addition of Ca is detrimental to corrosion resistance due to the micro-galvanic corrosion acceleration. In vitro hemolysis and cytotoxicity assessment disclose that Mg–5Zn–1.0Ca alloy has suitable biocompatibility.  相似文献

In this in vivo study, degradable Mg–3Zn–0.8Zr cylinders were coated with a calcium phosphorus compound (Ca–P) layer or a magnesium fluoride (MgF2) layer; uncoated Mg–3Zn–0.8Zr alloy was used as a control. These were then implanted intramedullary into the femora of nine Japanese big-ear white rabbits for implantation periods of 1, 2 and 3 months. During the postoperative observation period with radiographic examination, the results showed that the MgF2-coated implants were tolerated well compared to the Ca–P-coated implants and uncoated implants. Moreover, large amounts of cells, rich fibrillar collagen and calcium and phosphorus products were found on the surface of the MgF2-coated implants using scanning electron microscopy. Micro-computed tomography further showed a slight decrease in volume (23.85%) and a greater increase in new bone mass (new bone volume fraction = 11.56%, tissue mineral density = 248.81 mg/cm3) for the MgF2-coated implants in comparison to uncoated and Ca–P compound-coated implants after 3 months of implantation.  相似文献

Apart from the industrial and automotive applications, Zn and Zn-based alloys are considered as a new kind of potential biodegradable material quite recently. However, one drawback of pure Zn as potential biodegradable metal lies in that pure Zn has quite low strength and plasticity. In the present study, three important IIA essential nutrient elements Mg, Ca and Sr and hot-rolling and hot-extrusion thermal deformations have been applied to overcome the drawback of pure Zn and benefit the biocompatibility of Zn-based potential implants. The microstructure, mechanical properties, corrosion behavior, hemocompatibility, in vitro cytocompatibility were studied systematically to investigate their feasibility as bioabsorbable implants. The results showed that the mechanical properties of the ternary Zn–1Mg–1Ca, Zn–1Mg–1Sr and Zn–1Ca–1Sr alloys are much higher than that of pure Zn, owing to both the alloying effects and thermal deformation effects. In vitro hemolytic rate test and cell viability test indicated that the addition of the IIA nutrient alloying elements Mg, Ca and Sr into Zn can benefit their hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility, which would further guarantee the biosafety of these new kind of biodegradable Zn-based implants for future clinical applications.  相似文献

Mg–Al–Si–Ca and Mg–Zn–Ca base alloys were rapidly solidified bymelt spinning at the cooling rate of about a million K/s. The melt-spun ribbons were aged in the range 100–400%C for 1 h. The effect of additional elements on microstructural change and precipitation hardening after heat treatment was investigated using TEM, XRD and a Vickers microhardness tester. Age hardening occurred after aging at 200%C in the Mg–Al–Si–Caalloys mainly due to the formation of Al2Ca and Mg2Ca phases, whereas in the Mg–Zn–Ca alloys mostly due to the distribution of Mg2Ca. TEM results revealed that spherical Al2Ca precipitate has the coherent interface with the matrix. Considering the total amount of additional elements, Mg–Zn–Ca alloys showed higher hardness and smaller size of precipitates than Mg–Al–Si–Ca alloys. With the increase of Ca content, the hardness values of the aged ribbons were increased. Among the alloys, Mg–6Zn–5Ca alloy showed the maximum value of age hardening peak(Hv:180) after aging at 200%C for 1h.  相似文献

The formation of the icosahedral phase (I-phase) as a secondary solidification phase in Mg–Zn–Y and Mg–Zn–Al base systems provides useful advantages in designing high performance wrought magnesium alloys. The strengthening in two-phase composites (I-phase + α-Mg) can be explained by dispersion hardening due to the presence of I-phase particles and by the strong bonding property at the I-phase/matrix interface. The presence of an additional secondary solidification phase can further enhance formability and mechanical properties. In Mg–Zn–Y alloys, the co-presence of I and Ca2Mg6Zn3 phases by addition of Ca can significantly enhance formability, while in Mg–Zn–Al alloys, the co-presence of the I-phase and Mg2Sn phase leads to the enhancement of mechanical properties. Dynamic and static recrystallization are significantly accelerated by addition of Ca in Mg–Zn–Y alloy, resulting in much smaller grain size and more random texture. The high strength of Mg–Zn–Al–Sn alloys is attributed to the presence of finely distributed Mg2Sn and I-phase particles embedded in the α-Mg matrix.  相似文献

Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and tensile testing were performed to investigate the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast Mg–4Y/Nd–2Zn alloys. The results show that the secondary dendritic arm spacing for the Mg–4Y–2Zn alloy is smaller than that for the Mg–4Nd–2Zn alloy, and that X-Mg12YZn or W-Mg3Zn3Nd2 form in Mg–4Y/Nd–2Zn alloys. The lamellar X phase distributes at the grain boundary, pointing into the grains, whereas the rod-like W phase preferentially segregates at the triangle junction of the grain boundary. The greater grain boundary strengthening effect and the smaller fragmentation effect of the brittle eutectic phases leads to the as-cast Mg–4Y–2Zn alloy having better comprehensive mechanical properties. The fracture mechanism for as-cast Mg–4Y/Nd–2Zn alloys is quasi-cleavage fracture.  相似文献

Abstract

The rapidly solidified (RS) Mg–Zn based alloys with Ce addition were produced via atomising the alloy melt and subsequent splat quenching on the water cooled copper twin rollers in the form of flakes. The effects of Ce additions on the microstructures, phase compositions, thermal stability and isochronal age hardening behaviour of the RS Mg–Zn alloy were systematically investigated. The RS Mg–6Zn alloy is characterised by fine grains in the size of 6–10 μm and is composed of α-Mg, Mg51Zn20 and a small quantity of MgZn2 and Mg2Zn3 phases. With the increment of Ce, the microstructures of the alloys are refined, and the volume fractions of dispersions are increased remarkably. The stable intermetallic compounds, i.e. the MgxZnyCez ternary phases, are formed in the RS Mg–Zn–Ce alloys at the expense of the Mg51Zn20 phases, which leads to the enhanced thermal stability of the alloys, especially for the Mg–6Zn–5Ce alloy. In the alloy, the atomic percentage ratio of Zn/Ce in the MgxZnyCez phase is close to two, and the maximum hardness is 91·5±7 HV after annealing at 200°C for 1 h. However, the age hardening behaviour of the alloys decreases with the increment of Ce, and the main reason is discussed.  相似文献

As compared to permanent orthopedic implants for load-bearing applications, biodegradable orthopedic implants have the advantage of no need for removing after healing, but they suffer from the "trilemma" problem of compromising among sufficiently high mechanical properties, good biocompatibility and proper degradation rate conforming to the growth rate of new bones. In the present work, in vitro and in vivo studies of a Zn-0.05 wt%Mg alloy(namely, Zn-0.05 Mg alloy) were conducted with pure Zn as a control. The Zn-0.05 Mg alloy is composed of a small amount of Mg_2 Zn11 phase embedded in the refined Zn matrix with an average grain size of ~20 μm. The addition of 0.05 wt% Mg into Zn significantly increases the ultimate tensile strength up to 225 MPa and the elongation to fracture to 26%, but has little influence on the in vitro degradation rate. Both Zn and Zn-0.05 Mg alloy exhibit homogeneous in vitro degradation with a rate of about 0.15 mm/year. Based on the cytotoxicity evaluation, Zn and Zn-0.05 Mg alloy do not induce toxicity to L-929 cells, indicating that they have little toxicity to the general functions of the animal. An in vivo biocompatibility study of Zn and Zn-0.05 Mg alloy samples by placing them in a rabbit model for 4.12 and 24 weeks, respectively did not show any inflammatory cells, and demonstrated that new bone tissue formed at the bone/implant interface, suggesting that Zn and Zn-0.05 Mg alloy promote the formation of new bone tissue. The in vivo degradation of Zn and Zn-0.05 Mg alloy does not bring harm to the important organs and their cell structures. More interestingly, Zn and Zn-0.05 Mg alloy exhibit strong antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The above results clearly demonstrate that the Zn-0.05 Mg alloy could be a potential biodegradable orthopedic implant material.  相似文献
