Abstract
The extrusion-formed Zn–0.5Mg alloy got a improved elongation and tensile strength by the addition of Mn. The influence of Mn on the strength contribution was investigated by comparing the microstructures of the designed Zn–0.5Mg and Zn–0.5Mg–0.2Mn alloys. The
deformed binary Zn–Mg alloy had a grain size of 9 μm, and the grain size of the deformed ternary Zn–Mg–Mn alloy was 3 m. This result indicated that the extrusion-formed Zn–Mg–Mn alloy had a greater contribution to grain boundary strengthening than the
extrusion-formed Zn–Mg alloy. Furthermore, the precipitates in the two alloys show significant differences in size, morphology, density, and variety. Precipitates in the Mn-containing Zn alloy showed a smaller size, higher density, and the ratio of length and diameter. The high elongation
rate of the extrusion-formed Zn–Mg–Mn alloy was attributed to the fully fragmented Mg2Zn11 and deformable MnZn13 phases. In addition to enhancing its mechanical characteristics, the Zn–Mg–Mn alloy, as extruded, exhibits the same corrosion
rates, antibacterial properties, and biocompatibility. These results are helpful in expanding the applications of Zn alloys in the orthopaedic field.
