1. In vitro corrosion-fatigue behaviour of rare-earth containing magnesium WE43 in sterile complex cell culture mediumJulia Nachtsheim, Songyun Ma, Jaka Burja, Alexander Köppl, Jan-Marten Seitz, Bernd Markert, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Rare-earth containing magnesium alloys are promising biomedical materials for a new generation of biodegradable orthopaedic implant systems due to their excellent biocompatibility, mechanical and biodegradation properties. However, chemo-mechanical interactions in aggressive physiological corrosion environments result in rapid degradation and early loss of mechanical integrity, limiting its broader application for orthopaedic implants. To date, only few studies have assessed the corrosion-fatigue behaviour of medical-grade magnesium alloys in an organic physiological corrosion environment, especially under sterile test conditions. In the present work, the corrosion-fatigue behaviour of fine-grained medical-grade magnesium alloy WE43MEO was systematically analysed under in vitro conditions using an organic physiological fluid DMEM. The experimental results showed that the fatigue strength of the alloy is nearly unaffected by a 1-day precorrosion, while a 7-day precorrosion resulted in a significant deterioration of mechanical integrity. In corrosion-fatigue experiments, the fatigue life was considerably reduced by interactions between corrosion and fatigue damages. The SEM analysis revealed that the mixed mode of intergranular and transgranular fracture in the crack propagation zone transits to intergranular cracking dominant mode under the corrosion-fatigue conditions due to hydrogen embrittlement.

2. Harmonizing microstructures and enhancing mechanical resilience : novel powder metallurgy approach for Zn–Mg alloysAnna Boukalová, Jiří Kubásek, David Nečas, Peter Minárik, Črtomir Donik, Drahomír Dvorský, Dalibor Vojtěch, Alena Michalcová, Matjaž Godec, Irena Paulin, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Zinc alloys are recognised for their excellent biocompatibility and favourable corrosion rates, making them suitable for bioabsorbable implants. However, their mechanical properties necessitate improvement to fulfil the rigorous requirements of biomedical applications. This research focuses on engineering pseudo-harmonic structures within zinc alloys through a comprehensive method combining mechanical alloying, spark plasma sintering, and hot extrusion techniques. This fabrication process results in a composite material characterised by a soft core surrounded by a continuous, three-dimensional, ultrafine-grained hard shell. The experiment involved blending pure zinc with Zn–1Mg alloy powder, leading to the formation of both ductile zinc and fine-grained Zn–1Mg regions. While the Mg2Zn11 intermetallic phase was found to enhance the alloy's mechanical strength, the presence of oxide shells adversely affected the material's properties. The elimination of these shells via hot extrusion markedly improved the alloy's tensile strength, reaching an average value of tensile strength of 333 ± 7 MPa. This study provides significant insights into the material engineering of zinc-based alloys for biodegradable implant applications, demonstrating a viable approach to optimising their mechanical performance.

3. 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, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: 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.
