1. Exploring the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of innovative bioabsorbable Zn-Mg-(Si) alloys fabricated via powder metallurgy techniquesDavid Nečas, Vojtěch Hybášek, Jan Pinc, Andrea Školáková, Ilona Voňavková, Klára Hosová, Martin Zlámal, Anna Boukalová, Jan Pokorný, Drahomír Dvorský, Črtomir Donik, Dalibor Vojtěch, Jiří Kubásek, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: Zinc alloys belong to the widely studied materials for applications like medical devices, however, they often
encounter an inappropriate combination of mechanical/corrosion/biological properties. In this respect, we
produced the Zn–1Mg and Zn–1Mg–1Si containing biologically friendly elements with potential strengthening
effects on zinc matrix by powder metallurgy methods including mechanical alloying, spark plasma sintering, and
extrusion further enabling the formation of materials with unique extremely fine-grained microstructures. The
systematic study of these materials showed the possibility of reaching homogeneous nano-grain microstructure
and high strength values exceeding 450 MPa in tension. Selected chemical composition and processing methods
led also to slightly decreased wear and corrosion rates and rather uniform corrosion.
