Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the application of magnesium alloys in bioimplantation is still limited by its performance.
On the one hand, due to the low standard potential of magnesium, its corrosion resistance is poor, and the products formed after corrosion are loose and porous, which cannot effectively prevent the development of corrosion, which leads to the deterioration of its corrosion performance.
Poor corrosion resistance will lead to too fast degradation of magnesium alloy materials after implantation in the human body, premature failure, affecting tissue growth and healing
On the other hand, the mechanical properties (mainly strength) of cast magnesium alloys are not excellent enough due to coarse grains and many structural defects.
This also limits its scope of application as a bioimplantation material

Abstract

The invention provides a method for improving the strength and corrosion resistance of cast ZK21 magnesium alloy. The alloy comprises, by mass, 1.87% of Zn, 0.54% of Zr and the balance Mg and inevitable impurities. The method comprises the steps of performing solution treatment to cast magnesium alloy in an electric box furnace firstly, wherein the solution temperature is 360-400 DEG C, and the solution treatment time is 12-24 hours; adding pyrite powder (FeS2) for protection according to the volume ratio of 1:100 in order to prevent oxidization; and then, performing extrusion treatment to themagnesium alloy after solution treatment at the extrusion temperature of 350 DEG C and the extrusion speed of 3 mm / s to obtain bars. The method has the advantages that the ZK21 alloy after solution treatment contains few second phases, thereby benefiting reduction of galvanic corrosion; the grain refinement after extrusion is obvious, and the structure compactness is improved; the porosity is reduced, and the strength and corrosion resistance of the magnesium alloy are improved greatly. The alloy has high strength and corrosion resistance, and can be applied to the medical field of degradableabsorbable bone nails, bone plates and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a metal processing method, in particular to a processing method for casting ZK21 magnesium alloy. Background technique [0002] In recent years, magnesium alloy materials have shown broad application prospects in the field of biomedicine and have been widely studied. As a bio-implant material with great potential, magnesium alloy has obvious advantages. First of all, magnesium is an essential trace element in the human body, which plays an important role in maintaining human health and promoting metabolism; secondly, magnesium alloy materials can be automatically degraded after being implanted in the human body, reducing the need for secondary removal of materials such as stainless steel The surgical risk brought about also reduces the pain of the patient, and most of the degraded magnesium alloy can be discharged from the human body without causing harm to human health; in addition, the elastic mold of the commonly used metal...
