Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Zn-Mg Alloys as Implant Materials Manufactured by Powder Metallurgy Method

Currently some biomaterials, especially Zri and Mg alloys and related manufacturing methods are among important research topics due to their suitable biocompatibility, mechanical and corrosion properties. Zn Mg alloy has been processed by Mechanical Alloying method. Ilot sintering was conducted at 410 degrees C under argon atmosphere. Resulting microstructures densities and hardness test behaviors of the Zn-based alloys were studied.Visual inspection usIn. g SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) analyses indicates that the microstructure of the composite is also greatly effected by these parameters. In addition, EDS (Energy Dispersive X -Ray Spectroscopy analyses were performed for reliable determthation of the chemical composition
