The results show that the microstructure of AM60 casting magnesium alloy is effectively refined by adding small amount of silicocalcium. The grain size decreases from 180 μm to 80 μm with 1.8% Si addition, while the size increases with 2.5% Si addition. The AM60+Si-Ca alloys mainly contain Mg matrix, β-Mg17Al12 phase, Al8Mn5 phase and a small polygonal type Mg2Si phase in matrix. Al8Mn5 can act as the heterogeneous nucleation for the Mg2Si phase. With the increase of silicocalcium, the content of Mg2Si phase increases gradually, the Mg2Si particles grow up and change coarse gradually. The microhardness of AM60 matrix increases with silicocalcium addition. The peak values of the tensile strength, elongation and impact toughness appear simultaneously with 1.8% silicocalcium addition, and the tensile strength, elongation and impact toughness are heightened respectively by 13.9%, 28.5% and 100%.展开更多

A series of in vitro evaluations such as tensile test, static and dynamic immersion test, hemocompatibility test as well as cytotoxicity test were presented, with commercial magnesium alloy WE43 as the control. Mg-3Sn-0.5Mn alloy possesses suitable strength and superior ductility compared with WE43 and AZ31. Static immersion and dynamic degradation tests showed more uniform degradation with a more moderate rate for Mg-3Sn-0.5Mn alloy （0.34 mm/y in static condition and 0.25 mm/y in dynamic condition） compared with WE43 alloy （0.42 mm/y in static condition and 0.33 mm/y in dynamic condition） in Hank＇s solution. Blood compatibility evaluation suggested that Mg-3Sn-0.5Mn alloy had no destructive effect on erythrocyte and showed excellent anti-thrombogenicity to blood system. Besides, Mg-3Sn-0.5Mn alloy showed no inhibition effect to L929 metabolic activity and mild toxicity to vascular smooth muscle cell （VSMC） in preliminary cell viability assessment. By considering its excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, low ion release rate and good biocompatibility, Mg-3Sn-0.5Mn alloy may be a promising economical candidate as biomedical implant material for load-bearing clinical applications in the future.展开更多
