Abstract

Zinc biodegradable alloys are actively researched as promising materials for creating biomedical implants for osteosynthesis and vascular stents. New zinc alloys of the Zn–Ag–Cu system are of particular interest due to their antimicrobial and bactericidal properties conferred by the addition of silver and copper. The feasibility of producing a defect-free zinc alloy spoke and the influence of combined processing, involving severe plastic deformation techniques, such as equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) and extrusion, on the microstructural changes and mechanical properties of the Zn 1 wt % Ag 1 wt % Cu (Zn–1Ag–1Cu) alloy were studied. To complement the experimental study, computer modeling of the extrusion of the Zn–1Ag–1Cu alloy at a temperature of 150°C was performed. Data on the distribution of accumulated deformation and average stresses were obtained, indicating structural relaxation. Multipass ECAP treatment resulted in a significant grain refinement to 3 ± 0.5 μm compared to the homogenized state with a grain size of 326 ± 31 μm, while subsequent extrusion led to recrystallization. After combined processing, the average grain size increased to 13 ± 2 μm. Samples subjected to ECAP exhibited a substantial increase in ultimate strength to 204 MPa and ductility to 50%, compared to the homogenized state (78 MPa, 12%). However, extruded samples showed a slight decrease in strength to 181 MPa and ductility to 29%. It was concluded that the combined deformation techniques enable the production of a defect-free spoke with a diameter of 5 mm and a length of 200 mm, exhibiting mechanical properties suitable for medical applications.

采用等通道角压和挤压工艺加工的锌合金 Zn-1Ag-1Cu 的机械性能
锌可生物降解合金作为一种有前景的生物医学植入材料被积极研究,用于骨合成和血管支架。锌-银-铜体系的新型锌合金由于其添加银和铜所赋予的抗菌和杀菌性能而引起了特别的兴趣。研究了生产无缺陷锌合金辐条的可行性,以及采用等径角挤压(ECAP)和挤压等强塑性变形工艺对Zn - 1wt % Ag - 1wt % Cu (Zn - 1ag - 1cu)合金显微组织变化和力学性能的影响。为了补充实验研究,对Zn-1Ag-1Cu合金在150℃下的挤压过程进行了计算机模拟。得到了累积变形和平均应力的分布数据,表明结构松弛。与晶粒尺寸为326±31 μm的均匀态相比,多道次ECAP处理导致晶粒细化至3±0.5 μm,而随后的挤压导致再结晶。复合处理后,平均晶粒尺寸增大到13±2 μm。与均匀化状态(78 MPa, 12%)相比,经ECAP处理的样品的极限强度大幅提高至204 MPa,延展性提高50%。然而,挤压试样的强度略有下降,降至181 MPa,延性降至29%。结论是,综合变形技术能够生产直径为5毫米、长度为200毫米的无缺陷辐条,其机械性能适合医疗应用。
