Mg-Ga-Zn-Ca alloys as a promising material for the production of biodegradable implants
Magnesium alloys, in particular alloys with zinc, calcium and gallium, are a promising material for the production of biodegradable implants for treatment of bone injuries and diseases due to its biocompatibility and proximity of mechanical properties to those of bone tissue.
It was established that mechanical properties (Young’s modulus, plasticity coefficient, microhardness, UTS) of these alloys exceed the values of basic magnesium alloys and also show a lower corrosion rate. An alloy Mg-3.5Ga-3.5Zn-1Ca showed an overall best performance.
